52 COMPARATIVE PARASITOLOGY, 67(1), JANUARY 2000 Materials and Methods No details of hosts, beyond those given below, are known, and there is no record of host bodies having been deposited in any museum. All the parasite material studied had been deposited in the SAMA. Its preservation history is not known, but probably it was fixed in 5%—10% formalin before being stored in 70% ethanol. Specimens were cleared for study in temporary wet mounts in lactophcnol prior to examination with the aid of interference contrast light microscopy. Measurements were made with the aid of an ocular micrometer or drawing tube and map measurer. Unless otherwise stated, measurements are given in micrometers as a range followed by the mean in parentheses. Drawings were prepared with the aid of a drawing tube. Terminology used follows that of Beveridge (1986). Results Popovastrongylus wallabiae (Johnston and Mawson, 1939) Mawson, 1977 (Figs. 1-6) SYNONYMS: Macropostrongylus wallabiae Johnson and Mawson, 1939; Gelanostrongylus wallabiae Popova, 1952. GENERAL: Cloacinidae: Cloacininae. With characters of the genus Popovastrongylus as described by Johnston and Mawson (1939) and Mawson (1977) and redefined by Beveridge (1986). Comparative measurements of specimens from New South Wales and Tasmania are given in Table 1. DESCRIPTION OF CEPHALIC END: Mouth opening quadrangular in apical view, surrounded by elevated, finely striated labial collar, indented at corners on external margin by submedian papillae; amphids on lateral projections external to labial collar; submedian papillae each with 2 short, medially directed setae; cephalic collar present posterior to labial collar, bearing papillae and amphids. Buccal capsule approximately cylindrical, longer than wide, thickened anteriorly; internal lining of buccal capsule thick, transparent, almost occluding lumen anteriorly but not forming shelf-like projection; outer wall of buccal capsule sclerotized, refractile, thickened in mid region, nonstriated; buccal capsule circular in cross section. TYPE SPECIMENS: Holotype male, allotype female, SAMA AHC V2832. TYPE HOST: Macropus rufogriseus (Desmarest, 1817). SITE OF INFECTION: Stomach. LOCALITY: Bathurst District, New South Wales. SPECIMENS STUDIED: Types from M. rufogriseus: Southern Queensland: 3 female, 1 male, no other collection data, SAMA AHC 6004; from Tasmania: 3 male, 2 female from Launceston, 18 April 1973, SAMA AHC 6006; 3 male, 1 female from Pipers River, collector D. Obendorf 26 January 1982, SAMA AHC 16410. REMARKS: This species was clearly differentiated from P. pearsoni, the other species of Popovastrongylus occurring in M. rufogriseus, by Mawson (1977). Furthermore, Beveridge (1986, pp. 263-264, Fig. 3A, B), in his redescription of the cephalic end of P. pearsoni, noted and figured a shelf-like projection of the inner lining of the buccal capsule. Mawson (1977) described a narrow shelf toward the anterior end of the buccal capsule of the type, but not other specimens of P. wallabiae. Careful examination of specimens of P. wallabiae in this study has shown that a shelf-like projection is not present, but the inner lining of the buccal capsule is thickest at the anterior end. Mawson (1977) listed Macropostrongylus wallabiae Johnston and Mawson, 1939 p. 526 from Wallabia bicolor Desmarest, 1804, as a synonym of P. wallabiae. This is in error, as M. wallabiae was described by Johnston and Mawson (1939) from Macropus ruficollis (=M. rufogriseus). The material from Macropus ualabatus ( = W. bicolor), originally described as Macropostrongylus dissimilis Johnston and Mawson, 1939, was subsequently identified as Arundelia dissimilis (Johnston and Mawson, 1939) by Mawson (1977). Wallabia bicolor therefore is not a host for P. wallabiae. Popovastrongylus tasmaniensis sp. n. (Figs. 7-21) Description Copyright © 2011, The Helminthological Society of Washington GENERAL DESCRIPTION: Small worms, body covered with numerous fine transverse striations; mouth opening oval; surrounded by elevated, finely striated collar, indented on external margin; cephalic collar present, posterior to labial collar, bearing 2 amphids and 4 cephalic papillae, each with 2 prominent setae. Buccal capsule cylindrical, oval in cross-section, slightly longer than wide; walls sclerotized, refractile internal lining thick, transparent, expanded anteriorly. Esophageal corpus long, cylindrical; isthmus short; bulb ovoid; deirids anterior to nerve ring, excretory pore in mid-esophageal position, pos-

MALES (measurements of 10 specimens): Length 6.5-9.0 (7.5) mm; width 310-460 (385); buccal capsule 50-60 (53) long by 23-43 (38) wide; esophagus 1.04-1.75 (1.61) mm long; nerve ring 535-740 (655), deirids 210-300 (265), excretory pore 690-920 (800) from anterior end; spicules 1.16-1.45 (1.33) mm. Dorsal and lateral lobes of bursa about equal in length; ventral lobes shorter. Ventral rays apposed, reaching margin of bursa; externolateral ray divergent, shorter, almost reaching margin of bursa; mediolateral and posterolateral rays apposed, reaching margin of bursa; externodorsal ray arising close to lateral trunk, not reaching margin of bursa; dorsal ray long, slender at origin, dividing at midlength into 2 arcuate branches that reach margin of bursa; lateral branchlets short, arising soon after bifurcation, terminating in small ele- Copyright © 2011, The Helminthological Society of Washington
