On Some Parasitic Nematodes Collected in China

Abstract

The following notes deal with nine species of parasitic nematodes from the Yangtze Valley and an additional one from North China. Of these ten species, one belongs to the super-family Rhabdiasoidea, three to Oxyuroidea, and six to Spiruroidea; three species have been previously described; therefore in these cases the writer gives only their measurements and a description of the particulars in which he found them to differ from the original description. Seven species Rhabdias annulosa n.sp., Pingus sinensis n.g. et n.sp. (Pingidae n.f.), Omeia hoepplii n.g. et n.sp., Thelazia chungkingensis n.sp., Oxyspirura kaitingensis n.sp., Oxyspirura peipingensis n.sp., Oxyspirura tsingchengensis n.sp., are new to science.
