Cercopithifilaria leporinus n. sp. from the subcutaneous tissues of the trunk of snowshoe hares (Lepus americanus Erxleben) in Ontario and Alberta, Canada, is described. This is the only species of Dipetalonema — like filarioid known from lagomorphs. It is distinguished from other species of Cercopithifilaria by its small size, numerous mucrons on the female tail, vulva leading into a large, spherical vestibule and the pattern of papillae on the male tail. Eight species of filarioids, representing four genera, are now known from lagomorphs. Dirofilaria timidi Gubanov and Fedorov, 1966 is considered as a species inquirenda.
Résumé
Cercopithifilaria leporinus n. sp., parasite sous-cutané du tronc chez les lièvres d’Amérique (Lepus americanus Erxleben) en Ontario et Alberta, Canada, est décrit. Il représente la premières espèce de filaires de la lignée Dipetalonema connue chez les Lagomorphes. Il se distingue par sa petite taille, la présence de nombreux mucrons sur la queue des femelles, la présence d’un grand vestibule sphérique dans le vagin, et la distribution des papilles sur la queue des mâles. Huit espèces de filaires dans quatre genres sont connues chez les Lagomorphes. Dirofilaria timidi Gubanov et Fedorov, 1966 est considéré comme un species inquirenda.
