A New Species of the Genus Pseudophvsaloptera Baylis, 1934 from Sorex murinus in India
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 18 November 2009
Extract
Baylis (1934) erected the genus Pscudophysaloptera for the worm he recovered from Crocidura sp. from Africa. In 1937 Chen reported the same species, P. soricina from China. In 1948 Lincicome transferred Physaloptera formosana (Yokogawa, 1922) to Pseudophysaloptera. In the same year Lincicome and McConnaughey reported another species, P. riukiuana from Suncus murinus in Okinawa. In 1953 Kobulej and Vershenyi described a worm as Physaloptera kotlani, but Schad (1903) rightly transferred it to Pseudophysaloptera. Kobulej 1955 doubted the validity of the genus Pseudophysaloptera, but the labial dentition and the sessile caudal papillae are characters good enough to regard it as an independent genus.
