Sl. Gardner et al., A NEW SPECIES OF VEXILLATA (NEMATA, ORNITHOSTRONGYLIDAE) FROM THE COARSE-HAIRED POCKET MOUSE CHAETODIPUS-HISPIDUS IN NEW-MEXICO, The Journal of parasitology, 80(4), 1994, pp. 591-594
Individuals of a new species of trichostrongyloid nematode of the genu
s Vexillata were collected from the intestines of the coarse-haired po
cket mouse Chaetodipus hispidus from eastern New Mexico. This new spec
ies possesses general features of the genus Vexillata but may be recog
nized as distinct from all other species by unique features of the dor
sal ray of the caudal bursa and the synlophe.
