Extract

Six new species of Spirurids are described from terrestrial vertebrates from various countries. They are Camallanus macabukae n.sp. and Procamallanus brevis n.sp. from bull-frogs in S. Africa, C. multilineatus n.sp. from Rana catesbiana in N. America, Tanqua gigantica n.sp. from Python reticulatus and Naja. hannah in E. Indies and S.E. Asia, respectively, Ancyracanthopsis madagascariensis n.sp. from Dryolimnas cuvieri in Madagascar, and Physaloptera singhi n.sp. from the monkey (?) in S. America. Three species inquirendae, Camallanus sp., Streptocara sp. and Physaloptera sp. are also described. Some new morphological features in Habronema mansioni and Physaloptera paradoxa are discussed and the female of Hartertia zuluensis is described for the first time.
