Some New Nematodes from the Australian Wallaby (Macropus rufogrisea fruticus) with a Note on the Synonymy of the Genera Zoniolaimus, Labiostrongylus and Buccostrongylus

Abstract

The present paper consists of descriptions of an encysted developing stage of Asymmetricostrongylus dissimilis, and of four newz species, Globocephaloides trifidospicularis, Pharyngostrongylus longibursaris, Zoniolaimus cobbi and Labiostrongylus australis. With the exception of L. australis, which is doubtfully recorded from Python spilotus, all the species came from the alimentary canal of the Australian wallaby, Macropus rufogrisea fruticus.
