New records for helminths of hystricognath rodents from the middle and high Rio Negro microregion, State of Amazonas, Brazil

“…by TRAVASSOS (1945) in D. leporina, from the Rio Itaúnas valley, State of Espírito Santo and by TRAVASSOS & FREITAS (1948), in D. leporina and A. paca from Sooretama, State of Espírito Santo, Brazil. Nevertheless, the only available morphometric data on the species are those of HALL (1916) and LÓPEZ-NEYRA (1951) that reproduced data after MOLIN (1859) when P. mediospiralis was described as Spiroptera mediospiralis; the length of males was of 26-36 long, 0.4 wide and that of females 40-46 long, 0.5 wide.…”
