Tetrameres (Tetrameres) tinamicola sp. n. from the crested tinamou, Eudromia elegans, with comments on the subgenus Petrowimeres (Nematoda: Tetrameridae).
Tetrameres (Tetrameres) tinamicola sp. n. is described from the crested tinamou, Eudromia elegans, of Argentina. The new species is most similar to other alate species of the subgenus Tetrameres, but it can be differentiated on the basis of its large size, length and structure of the left spicule, and arrangement of the 5 subventral and 3 sublateral pairs of postanal papillae. A review of the subgenus Petrowimeres is presented including the reassignment of several species to the subgenus Tetrameres.
