Up to now, 24 genera of Nematoda belonging to the Nippostrongylinae (Heligmonellidae) have been reported from New Guinean murid rodents. Nine of these genera have been reviewed in previous works. In the present work, another 11 genera are re-examined on morphological characters mainly corresponding to the synlophe and to a lesser degree to the bursa. This re-examination leads us to recognize three valid genera: Melomystrongylus, Pogonomystrongylus and Nugininema. The remaining genera appear to us insufficiently described or seem to involve more than one taxon; we consider them genera inquirenda. These are: Mawsonema, Montistrongylus, Parvinema, Missimstrongylus, Flannerystrongylus, Helgenema and Paramelomystrongylus. The genus Rodentanema does not belong to the Nippostrongylinae but to the Herpetostrongylidae (Heligmosomoidea). In addition to the three genera recognized herein, nine other genera of Nippostrongylinae are present in New Guinea: Equilophos, Hasanuddinia, Hasegawanema, Hughjonestrongylus, Lesleyella, Macrostrongylus, Nippostrongylus, Parasabanema and Sanduanensis. Several species attributed to the genera Bunomystrongylus, Chisholmia, Odilia and Sabanema are insufficiently described and their generic assignment could not be rectified or ratified. Consequently, the presence of these latter genera in New Guinean rodents remains unconfirmed, until more complete descriptions or illustrations are provided.
Résumé
Jusqu’à présent, 24 genres de Nématodes appartenant aux Nippostrongylinae (Heligmonellidae) ont été signalés chez des Rongeurs Muridae de Nouvelle Guinée. Parmi ces genres, neuf ont été révisés dans des articles précédents. Dans cet article, 11 autres genres sont réexaminés sur des caractères morphologiques concernant principalement le synlophe et en moindre mesure, la bourse caudale. Trois genres sont considérés comme valides : Melomystrongylus, Pogonomystrongylus et Nugininema. Les genres restants nous paraissent insuffisamment décrits ou représentent plus d’un taxon ; ils sont considérés genera inquirenda. Il s’agit de : Mawsonema, Montistrongylus, Parvinema, Missimstrongylus, Flannerystrongylus, Helgenema et Paramelomystrongylus. Le genre Rodentanema n’appartient pas aux Nippostrongylinae mais aux Herpetostrongylidae (Heligmosomoidea). En plus des trois genres ici reconnus, neuf autres genres de Nippostrongylinae sont présents en Nouvelle Guinée : Equilophos, Hasanuddinia, Hasegawanema, Hughjonestrongylus, Lesleyella, Macrostrongylus, Nippostrongylus, Parasabanema et Sanduanensis. Plusieurs espèces attribuées aux genres Bunomystrongylus, Chisholmia, Odilia et Sabanema sont insuffisamment décrites et leur assignation au niveau générique n’a pas pu être rectifiée ou ratifiée. Jusqu’à ce que des descriptions plus complètes soient apportées, le statut taxonomique de ces derniers genres chez des Rongeurs de Nouvelle Guinée reste incertain.
