Extract

Afromacroderoides lazerae gen. et. sp. nov. (Allocreadiidae; Walliniinae) is described and figured from specimens collected from the intestine of the African freshwater fish Clarias lazera from the White Nile near Khartoum, Sudan. The new genus is distinguished by the shape of its cirrus sac, the presence of a bipartite seminal vesicle and a spiny cirrus. It is differentiated from the related genera Paramacroderoides and Pseudoparamacroderoides.
