The nematode Pseudophysaloptera enigmatica sp. nov. is described from the stomach of Dactylopsila trivirgata Gray, 1858, in Queensland, Australia. The new species is distinguished from congeners by its size and features present on the tail of the male. P. enigmatica sp. nov. is considerably larger than virtually all congeners, and can be differentiated by the presence of spicules and the shape and distribution of caudal papillae in the male tail. This is the first record of the genus in Australia and in marsupials. A review of the genus is provided.
Résumé
Le nématode Pseudophysaloptera enigmatica sp. nov. est décrit de l'estomac de Dactylopsila trivirgata Gray, 1858, provenant du Queensland, Australie. La nouvelle espèce se distingue par sa taille (P. enigmatica sp. nov. est plus grand que les autres espèces du genre) et la queue du mâle, surtout par la présence de spicules et la distribution des papilles caudales. La présence du genre chez un marsupial australien, la première notification, est discutée. Une revision du genre est donnée.
