Description
Summary:During previous surveys of helminths in rodents from Southeast Asia, an unnamed species ofAoncho-thecawas recovered from the stomach of several rodent species. In the present study, the description ofthe new speciesAonchotheca yannickchavalin. sp. is provided based on both female and male specimenscollected from two bandicoot rat species (Bandicota indicaandBandicota savilei) from Thailand (Buriramand Nan provinces). This nematode can be separated from other knownAonchothecafound in rodents byits microhabitat in the host and by the size of the spicules in males and the vulvar appendage in females.
