A new genus is proposed in the family Amphibiophilidae based on specimens parasitic in Bufo marinus from Australia : Johnpersonia. The species Amphibiophilus egerniae Johnston and Mawson, 1947, parasite of Australian lizard, is classified in this genus. The only genus that it is close to is Batrachonema Yuen, 1965, parasitic in malayian Ranidae and peruvian Bufonidae. The two genera were classified in a new subfamily : the Johnpearsoniinae mainly characterised with a bursa of the 1-3-1 type. Johnpearsonia is differentiated from Batrachonema in that the female is monodelphic and the dorsal lobe of the caudal bursa is not reduced.An analysis of the relationships between the other primitive genera of Trichostrongylina parasitic in poikilothermic animals is done.
Résumé
Description d'un nouveau genre, Johnpearsonia, parasite de Bufo marinus et d'Amphibiens endémiques en Australie. Amphibiophilus egerniae Johnston et Mawson, 1947, parasite d'un Lézard australien, est classée dans ce genre. Le seul genre proche, Batrachonema Yuen, 1965 est parasite de Ranidae en Malaisie et de Bufonidae au Pérou. La nouvelle sous-famille des Johnpearsoniinae apppartenant à la famille des Amphibiophilidae est créée pour ranger ces deux genres. Cette sous-famille est principalement caractérisée par une bourse caudale de type 1-3-1. Johnpearsonia se différencie de Batrachonema par une femelle monodelphe et un mâle dont le lobe dorsal de la bourse caudale n'est pas réduit.
Les relations existant entre les autres genres primitifs de Trichostrongylina parasites de Vertébrés poïkilothermes sont analysées.
