title: [Redescription of five species of Onchocerca (author's transl)].
abstract: Five species of Onchocerca are redescribed: O. reticulata, Diesing, 1814; O. cervicalis Railliet et Henry, 1910; O. volvulus (Leuckart, 1893); O. gutturosa Neumann, 1910; O. armillata Railliet et Henry, 1908. Despite the variability of some characters such as length of tail and spicules, arrangment of caudal papillae, these species are well characterized by a set of elements, the two most important of which are the female cuticle and the anatomy of the microfilariae.
