Description d’Edesonfilaria cynocephali n. sp., parasite de Cynocephalus variegatus taylori (Thomas) en Malaisie. Mise en synonymie de Makifilaria Krishnasamy et coll., 1981 avec Edesonfilaria et formation de la nouvelle combinaison E. inderi (Krishnasamy et coll., 1981) n. comb. Edesonfilaria et le genre très proche Macacanema constituent une petite lignée de Filaires à œsophage hyperspécialisé (portion glandulaire dépourvue de lumière) ; elle est propre à la région indo-malaise et parasite de Dermoptères, Chiroptères et Primates arboricoles.
Abstract
Edesonfilaria cynocephali n. sp., a parasite of Cynocephalus variegatus taylori (Thomas) in Malaysia, is described. Makifilaria Krishnasamy et coll., 1981 is placed in synonymy with Edesonfdaria and the new combination E. inderi (Krishnasamy et coll., 1981) n. comb. is proposed. Edesonfilaria and the closely related genus Macacanema constitute a small evolutionary line of Filariae with a hyperspecialized oesophagus (the glandular portion lacks lumen); the line is restricted to the Indo-Malaysian region and occurs in arboreal Dermopterans, Chiropterans and Primates.
