Tetrameres (Tetrameres) spirospiculum n. sp. (Nematoda, Tetrameridae) from the Buff-necked Ibis, Theristicus caudatus caudatus (Boddaert) (Aves, Threskiornithidae)

Abstract

Tetrameres (T.) spirospiculum n. sp. is proposed, taking into account the very unusual aspect of the longer spicule, which is slender and progressively spiralled from its middle, towards the distal end, that promptly distinguishes it from all the species of the genus.
