Abstract
Thirty species of nematodes recovered from Piciformes hosts are report ed. Procyrnea anterovulvata n. sp. from Chelidoptera tenebrosa brasili ensis is described and compared to P. colaptes and P. pileata. The con sidered morphometric parameters ave mainly related to the ratio betwee n length of the body/distance of the vulva to the anterior end. It is approximately 1:0.5 in P. colaptes and P. pileata compared to 1:0.1 in the new species. The male of Synhimantus (Dispharynx) crassissima is described for the first time. Thelazia (Thelaziella) spizaeti is reval idated and new records are reported for some species.
