Abstract
A new genus and species are described from the intestine of the bat Mo lossops temmincki in Paraguay. It belongs to a group of genera which p ossesses a cephalic hood. The new taxon appears closely related to Ano plostrongylus, but may be distinguished mainly by the characters of th e caudal bursa in male and by the presence of spines in the ovejector region in female.
