Description de Josefilaria mackerrasae n. gen., n. sp., Filaire parasite de la chauve-souris Macroderma gigas, en Australie. Cette Filaire présente des affinités avec le genre Litomosa, mais s’en éloigne par le mélange de caractères évolués (capsule buccale réduite à un anneau pré-œsophagien ; papilles labiales externes absentes) liés à des caractères primitifs (« ailes caudales » chez le ♂, œsophage long et divisé, vulve peu éloignée de l’anneau nerveux, nombreuses pointes caudales chez la ♀).
Abstract
Josefilaria mackerrasae n. gen., n. sp., a filarial of the ghost bat Macroderma gigas in Australia is described. This filarioid has affinities with the genus Litomosa, but it can be separated by a variety of both more highly evolved characters (buccal capsule reduced to a pre-œsophageal ring ; external lateral papillae absent) and primitive characters (« caudal alae » of the male, long and divided oesophagus, vulva not far from the nerve ring, numerous caudal mucrons of the female).
