A total of 606 invertebrate type specimens comprising almost 300 species belonging to the phyla Sarcodina, Cnidospora, Ciliospora, Porifera, Cnidaria, Platyhelminthes, Rhynchocoela, Rotifera, Nematoda, Nematomorpha, Acanthocephala, Annelida, Pogonophora, Sipuncula, Tardigrada, Bryozoa, and Echinodermata are held in the collections of the Invertebrate Zoology Division of the National Museums of Canada. Of these, 237 specimens of 102 species belong to the Parasite Collection. A brief outline is given on the history of the collection and on type specimen handling procedures. Each species is listed by its original genus within the appropriate taxon. The original citation is given along with any subsequent synonymy or name change. New synonymies are given for several species that have been overlooked in the literature.
The majority of the specimens were collected from Canada or the United States; others come from the USSR, Australia, Japan, Southeast Asia, Central and South America, the Caribbean and the Red Sea. Only specimens whose description was published before December 31, 1983 have been included.
