Abstract
Alloglossoides dolandi is described from the antennal glands of the cr ayfish Procambarus epicyrtus collected in the vicinity of Newington, G eorgia. Like Alloglossoides caridicola, A. dolandi attains sexual matu rity and reproduces in a crayfish, but it has a larger sucker ratio, l arger eggs, smaller length-to-width ratio, and a midportion constricti on of Laurer's canal, and it occupies a different site within the ante nnal gland.
