[New filaria of the magpie, Eufilaria kalifai n. sp. (Lemdaninae) and its development in Culicoides nubeculosus].
E. kalifai n. sp. (Lemdaninae) is described from Pica pica galliae captured in France (Herault); this species resembles E. longicaudata from North American Corvidae as well as E. delicata and E. bartlettae from European Turdidae but is distinguished principally by the large size of the microfilaria (180-220 microns). The life is completed using Culicoides nubeculosus as intermediate host. The above four species of Eufilaria are very similar but the caudal extremity of the infective stage has four "languettes" in the parasites of Corvidae; it is smooth in parasites of Turdidae.
