Summary

Boreostrongylus romerolagi n.sp. is described and figured from the duodenum of Romerolagus diazi collected in Mexico and which died in the Zoological Gardens, Antwerp. It is distinguished from the two nearest species of the genus B. kinsellai and B. dalrymplei by the size of the genital cone, the branching of the dorsal ray and the shorter spicules. ac]19790718
