“…The order Oxyurida includes three families namely Oxyuridae (Cobbold, 1864); Pharyngodonidae (Travassos, 1919); and Heteroxynematidae (Skrjabin and Schikhobalova, 1948). Nematodes from the genera Syphacia and Aspiculuris are common parasitic pinworms of rodents all over the world (Adamson, 1994;Robles and Navone, 2007;Millazzo et al, 2010;Sotillo et al, 2012;Verma et al, 2013;Weyand et al, 2016;Zarei et al, 2016;Stewart et al, 2017). Based on morphological characters, the oxyurid species described here showed the characteristic features of the genus Aspiculuris, including the presence of four distinct cephalic papillae lying on the cephalic plate, and three small rudimental lips that carry two sessile poorly developed labial papillae.…”
