Pterygodermatites (Mesopectines) quentini n. sp. (Nematoda, Rictulariidae) is described from the murine host Praomys rostratus in the south of the Republic of Mali. It differs from other species of the subgenus by the morphology of the head, which bears four simple cephalic papillae and a nearly axial oral opening, the number of caudal papillae, the number of precloacal cuticular formations, unequal spicules and the ratio of spicule lengths/body length. The use of scanning electron microscopy in combination with conventional light microscopy enabled us to give a detailed description of the morphological characters of this new species.
Résumé
Pterygodermatites (Mesopectines) quentini n. sp. (Nematoda, Rictulariidae) est décrit du murinae Praomys rostratus dans le Sud de la République Malienne. Il diffère des autres espèces du sous-genre par la morphologie de sa tête, qui présente quatre papilles céphaliques simples et une ouverture orale pratiquement axiale, le nombre de papilles caudales, le nombre de formations cuticulaires précloacales et une inégalité des spicules et du ratio longueur des spicules/longueur du corps. L’utilisation de la microscopie électronique à balayage, ajoutée à celle de la microscopie optique conventionnelle, nous a permis de décrire avec précision les caractères morphologiques de cette nouvelle espèce.
