Extract

Stephanofilaria dinniki sp. nov. is described from cutaneous lesions of the black rhinoceros, Diceros bicornis L. The species differs from the others of the genus mainly in the length of the left spicule in the male; the short distance of the vulva from the anterior end in the female; and the curved tails in both sexes.
