Euparadistomum heischi n.sp., the sixth species in the genus, was recovered from a domestic cat on Pate Island, Kenya. In the Dicrocoeliidae, a new subfamily Euparadistominae is proposed for two genera, Euparadistomum Tubangui, 1931 and Stromitrema Skrjabin and Evranova, 1944.
In a review of the genus Encyclometra, only three species are considered to be valid : the genotype Encyclometra colubrimurorum (Rudolphi, 1819) Dollfus, 1929 ; E. japonica Yoshida and Ozaki, 1929 with synonyms E. microrchis Yamaguti, 1933, E. koreana Park, 1940 and E. vitellata N. K. Gupta, 1954 ; and E. asymmetrica Wallace, 1936. The intestinal caeca are shown to be a constant, useful and reliable character to differentiate the various species in the genus. In the light of some new information, the genus is slightly amended.
A brief redescription is given of Pulmostrongylus herpestis (Khera, 1956) recovered from the pleural cavity of a mongoose, Herpestes sp. from Suva, Fiji. The genus Herpestostrongylns Khera, 1956 is shown to be untenable and placed as a synonym of Puhnostrongylus Hsu, 1935. The genus Acanthoxynema Khera, 1956 is shown to be a synonym of Skrjabinema Vereshchagin, 1926; and the genus Papillosclerus Khera, 1956, a synonym of Metathelazia Skinker, 1931. and its subfamily Osleriinae Khera, 1956 is supressed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
