Abstract
ABSTRACT Two new species of Cloacina (Nematoda: Strongyloidea) are described from the stomach of the red kangaroo, Osphranter rufus. Cloacina xericola sp. nov. is described from a single locality, Menzies, in Western Australia. It differs from all congeners in having a highly recurrent vagina, six leaf crown elements, a lack of bosses in the lining of the oesophagus and extremely long spicules. Cloacina eris sp. nov. is most closely related to C. ares Beveridge, 1998 in the features of the buccal capsule and oesophagus, but differs in the position of the deirid, being posterior to the nerve ring in the new species, as well as in the form of the spicule ala which diminishes towards the tip in the new species, the greater length of the female tail, and the convoluted vagina of the new species. Cloacina eris is reported from both Western Australia and Queensland and at one locality in western Queensland, both C. eris and C. ares co-occur. Additional geographical records are provided for C. ares.
期刊介绍:
Published since 1880, the Transactions of the Royal Society of South Australia is a multidisciplinary journal that aims to publish high quality, peer-reviewed papers of particular relevance to Australasia.
There is a particular focus on natural history topics such as: botany, zoology, geology, geomorphology, palaeontology, meteorology, geophysics, biophysics, soil science and environmental science, and environmental health. However, the journal is not restricted to these fields, with papers concerning epidemiology, ethnology, anthropology, linguistics, and the history of science and exploration also welcomed.
Submissions are welcome from all authors, and membership of the Royal Society of South Australia is not required.
The following types of manuscripts are welcome: Reviews, Original Research Papers, History of Science and Exploration, Brief Communications, Obituaries.
