Cram (1925, 1927) incorrectly identified as T. pergracilis (now a synonym of T. tenuis) what was in reality an undescribed species in Colinus virginianus.
Trichostrongylus cramae n. sp. is proposed for T. pergracilis sensu Cram, 1927 nec Cobbold, 1873 from C. virginianus from USA. It differs from T. tenuis (Mehlis in Creplin, 1846) as regards the cuticular striation, the relative distances between the second, third and fourth bursal papillae and the configuration of the dorsal ray. Red grouse (Lagopus scoticus), the type host of T. pergracilis, was in fact found to be parasitized by T. tenuis, confirming the synonymy of T. pergracilis and T. tenuis.
Résumé
Cram (1925, 1927) a identifié par erreur comme étant T. pergracilis, maintenant considéré comme un synonyme de T. tenuis, ce qui était en réalité une espèce non décrite parasite de Colinus virginianus.
T. cramae n. sp. est proposé pour T. pergracilis sensu Cram, 1927 nec Cobbold, 1873, parasite de C. virginianus aux États-Unis.
Il se différencie de T. tenuis (Mehlis in Creplin, 1846) par la striation cuticulaire, les distances relatives entre les papilles bursales 2, 3 et 4, et par la configuration de la côte dorsale. Lagopus scoticus, l’hôte type de T. pergracilis est en fait parasité par T. tenuis ce qui confirme la synonymie de T. pergracilis et T. tenuis.
