Since Blanc created the genus Streptopharagus in 1912 for the reception of a nematode parasite from the stomach of Macacus cynomolgus (India ?) which he named S. armatus, three papers have appeared from different sources, each of which deals with what its author took to be examples of S. armatus Blanc. The first of these papers is by Vevers (1922), in which he records and figures some specimens obtained from Macacus nemestrinus (India). The second is by Baylis (1923), describing and figuring specimens obtained from Papio langheldi (Tanganyika Territory). The third is by Mönnig (1924), in which specimens obtained from Papio porcarius and Cercopithecus pygerythrus (Transvaal) are described and figured.
