In recent papers I have given, in relatively compact form, lists of the genera and species of metastrongylid lungworms; these publications are in turn summarized in a paper which follows (Dougherty, 1948). However, the trichostrongylid lungworms, constituting the subfamily Skrjabingylinae Skriabin, 1933, have not been completely treated, although in a recent work (Dougherty, 1945), in which certain lungworms were formally transferred from the Metastrongylidae to the Trichostrongylidae, the Skrjabingylin genera were listed without critical appraisal, and in the same paper the genus Crenosoma Molin, 1861, was reviewed in detail; subsequently the genus Dictyocaulus Railliet & Henry, 1907, has also been reviewed (by Dougherty, 1946).
