On a Redescription of the Male of Troglostrongylus subcrenatus (Railliet and Henry, 1913) n.comb., from the Domestic Gat and the Synonymy of Bronchostrongylus Cameron, 1931 with Troglostrongylus Vevers, 1923

Extract
A short historical study of this species is followed by a redescription from a male specimen which provides further details of head and bursa and of the structure of the spicules. The spicules are considered to be of considerable taxonomic importance at the generic level. The presence or absence of certain other significant morphological features is confirmed, for example, the presence of a cervical cuticular inflation and the absence of a gubernaculum. A new host and a new geographical locality are recorded. Finally some notes on the genera Troglostrongylus Vevers, 1923 and Bronchostrongylus Cameron, 1931 attempt to explain why the writer considers that the latter genus is superfluous and could be suppressed. A key to the species of the genus Troglostrongylus (sensu lato), a list of species and synonyms, and a bibliography are given. An amended generic diagnosis is proposed.
