Systematic Parasitology Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

Australian species of the genus Linstowia are redescribed, and one new species, L. macrouri is added. The new species differs from L. echidnae in the size of the cirrus sac and the distribution of the testes. L. tasmanica Spasskii, 1951 is regarded as a synonym of L. echidnae. L. echidnae and L. macrouri are placed in the nominal subgenus Linstowia; L. semoni and L. jheringi are placed in the subgenus Paralinstowia. ac]19821215
