title: [Description of Zaglonema zaglossi n. gen., n. sp., and Z., ewersi, n. sp., (Nematoda: Trichostrongyloidea) parasitic in the intestine of Zaglossus bruynii in New Guinea (author's transl)].
abstract: The new genus Zaglonema is characterised by the presence of primitive cephalic features, a poorly developed synlophe, the presence of a cervical groove, extra branches of the dorsal ray, short spicules and the absence of a spike on the tail of the female. Many of these features distinguish the new genus from the 3 other genera of Trichostrongyloid Nematodes occurring in Monotremes. The new genus appears to have some affinities with the genus Mackerrastrongylus which occurs in perameloid marsupials.
