“…Isoodon macrourus (Gould) (Peramelidae Gray), the northern brown bandicoot, is common along the northern and eastern coasts of Australia, including many coastal islands (Gordon 2008). An omnivorous animal, the diet of the northern brown bandicoot includes insects and other invertebrates such as earthworms.…”

A total of 235 vials of nematodes held in the Australian Helminthological Collection of the South Australian Museum from 125 individuals of Isoodon macrourus were examined. The nematode assemblage of I. macrourus, comprising 12 families, including 16 genera and 23 identified species, was compared with the sympatric bandicoot species Perameles nasuta, 20 identified species (Sorensen’s index of similarity 0.56) and P. pallescens, 12 identified species (Sorensen’s index 0.51). Sprattellus cassonei n. sp. is distinguished from its congeners by having a synlophe with 7–8 ridges with the anterior ventral ridges interrupted, the morphology of the dorsal ray and the branching of the spicule tips. A single male specimen identified as Linstowinema sp. 1. is characterised by seven circles of body hooks, the oesophagus terminating at the level of the seventh circle and robust scale-like spines on the posterior ventral body. A complete description of the species will require additional material, including females. Difficulties in identifying individuals of the genus Mackerrastrongylus to species level are discussed. Overall similarities in the nematode assemblages of the three bandicoot hosts are likely due to shared relationships and similar behaviours.

“…However, molecular studies of several species of Cloacina from these same rock wallaby hosts have suggested that they each constitute a species complex (Chilton et al ., 2009 ) with a different nematode species in each host species. Given the phylogenetic differences between P. persephone and its congeners (Eldridge and Close, 1997 ), its unusual habitat in rain and vine forests (van Dyck and Strahan, 2008 ), as well as the published molecular study on cloacinine nematodes of these same hosts, the affinities within this taxon warrant further investigation.…”

A molecular characterization of marsupial filarioid nematodes of the genusBreinlia

Here we present the genetic relationships of 26 specimens of the genus Breinlia (Nematoda: Filarioidea) from a range of Australian marsupials using markers in the small subunit of nuclear ribosomal RNA and mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (cox1) genes and compare them with morphological determinations. The molecular data support the validity of most of the morpho-species included in the study and provide provisional insights into the phylogeny of the genus in Australian mammals, with dasyuroid marsupials appearing to be the original hosts. The recent discovery of Breinlia annulipapillata in the eye of a human brings this genus of parasites into the group of emerging infectious parasitic diseases.

“…The dental and mandibular morphology of the new taxon was qualitatively compared with all major tribosphenic metatherian groups. To gain an insight into intraspecific variation of dental morphology in dasyuromorphians, 20 individuals of Dasycercus cristicauda were examined, an extant dasyurid similar in size to the fossil species (males 100–185 g, females 65–120 g; Van Dyck, 2008). All specimens used for comparison are listed in .…”

Malleodectes? wentworthi, sp. nov. is a highly specialized durophagous marsupial from a Middle Miocene limestone cave deposit in the Riversleigh World Heritage area, northern Australia. It provides the first information regarding the lower dentition of malleodectids, an extinct family of dasyuromorphians. It is also the smallest durophagous member of Metatheria (marsupials and their stem relatives) known to date, with an estimated body mass of ∼70-90 g, an order of magnitude smaller than other known malleodectids (Malleodectes mirabilis and Ma. moenia ∼1 kg). As in other malleodectids, Ma.? wentworthi has a hypertrophied, dome-like premolar specialized for crushing hard foods. Tentative assignment to the genus Malleodectes is based on derived similarities of the premolar and molar dentition to those of larger species of Malleodectes (known only from upper dentitions), and occlusal compatibility. Quantitative morphofunctional analyses of dental indices and mandibular bending strength are congruent with the previously proposed hypothesis that malleodectids may have been uniquely specialized snail-eaters. Maximum parsimony phylogenetic analysis of a 173 morphological character dataset, with a molecular scaffold enforced, placed Ma.? wentworthi within Dasyuromorphia, in a basal polytomy with Dasyuridae and Mutpuracinus archibaldi, to the exclusion of Barinya wangala, Myrmecobiidae and Thylacinidae. Bayesian analysis of a total evidence dataset that combined morphological with nuclear and mitochondrial DNA sequence data places Ma.? wentworthi as a sister taxon to crown-clade Dasyuridae, although support for this relationship is weak. http://zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:9302B839-4F3B-46E9-9F37-A992BC93FC1D SUPPLEMENTAL DATA-Supplemental materials are available for this article for free at www.tandfonline.com/UJVP.
