Cyclodontostomum purvisi (syn. Ancistronema coronatum) (Nematoda: Strongyloidea: Chabertiidae) from rats of Kalimantan and Sulawesi, Indonesia.
Cyclodontostomum purvisi Adams, 1933 (Nematoda: Strongyloidea: Chabertiidae) was collected from the ceca of Maxomys whiteheadi, Leopoldamys sabanus, and Niviventer cremoniventer of East Kalimantan and Eropeplus canus, Paruromys dominator, and Rattus hoffmanni (Rodentia: Muridae: Murinae) in South Sulawesi, Indonesia. Kalimantan and Sulawesi are new localities for this nematode, and each of the Sulawesian rats are new hosts. Presence of the external corona radiata consisting of 8 bifid elements was confirmed in Cyclodontostomum. Ancistronema coronatum Smales, 1992 is synonymized with C. purvisi. The cephalic end of Kalimantan specimens tilted dorsally more strongly than C. purvisi from Sulawesi. Cyclodontostomum purvisi seems to have a wide host range in the Murinae, being distributed widely in the area from India to Australia.
