Abstract: | Pterygodermatites variabilis n. sp. (Nematoda: Rictulalarioidea) from the Indian gerbils Tatera indica collected from Sind and Baluchistan Provinces of Pakistan is described and compared with closely related species of the genus
recovered from small mammalian hosts. The new species is characterised by a combination of the following characters: it possesses
a regular crown of 26 and 14–38 denticles in male and female specimens respectively, 40–47 pairs of pre-vulvar spines, and
a variable position of the vulva in specimens collected from different localities: it also differs in the size of the spicules
and gubernaculum. |
