A new species of Aplectana (Nematoda: Cosmocercidae) in Amphisbaena darwinii (Squamata: Amphisbaenidae) from Argentina

In the present study, we describe and illustrate Aplectana nananae n. sp. from the large intestine of Amphisbaena darwinii. Aplectana nananae n. sp. is the second species described in Argentinian amphisbaenian hosts and the 60th species assigned to the genus. This species differs from its congeners...

description In the present study, we describe and illustrate Aplectana nananae n. sp. from the large intestine of Amphisbaena darwinii. Aplectana nananae n. sp. is the second species described in Argentinian amphisbaenian hosts and the 60th species assigned to the genus. This species differs from its congeners by a set of unique characters in males: the presence of 1 unpaired preanal papilla and gubernaculum, the papillae pattern (8+1:2:2) and total number (24+1), very conspicuous and prominent excretory pore, located anterior to the esophageal bulb and the size of spicules (60-70 μm).
