SUBULURA-SALOUMENSIS N. SP. (NEMATODA, SUBULUROIDEA) FROM 4 SPECIES OF RODENTS IN SENEGAL

A new species of the genus Subulura is described from 4 new rodent hos ts: Arvicanthis niloticus, Mastomys erythroleucus, Mastomys huberti, a nd Tatera gambiana. Subulura salounensis n. sp, differs from the conge neric species by the morphology of its head, the absence of buccal lob es, the length of right and left spicules, the absence of caudal alae, and the existence of a caudal papillae with a sensorial bristle. The latter, which we observe for the first time in specimens gathered from M. huberti, has never previously been described in a species of the g enus Subulura.
