Abstract
O. ramachandrini n. sp., a parasite of the subcutaneous tissues of the feet of Phacochoerus aethiopicus in Cameroon, is described. The female has 3 to 5 giant coelomocytes which form swellings in the anterior part of the body. Together with O. dewittei Bain, Ramachandran, Petter et Mak, 1977, this species constitues a small group of parasites of the Suidae, which are morphologically well characterized, and of which the African species seems to be the most primitive one (conservation of a female cuticle without transverse ridges).
O. ramachandrini n. sp.,一种寄生虫的脚皮下组织的Phacochoerus aethiopicus在喀麦隆,描述。雌性有3至5个巨大的体腔细胞,在身体前部形成肿胀。与O. dewittei Bain, Ramachandran, Petter et Mak(1977)一起,该物种构成了水蛭科寄生虫的一小群,其形态特征很好,其中非洲物种似乎是最原始的一种(保存了一个没有横向脊的雌性角质层)。
