Subulura saloumensis n. sp. (Nematoda, Subuluroidea) from four species of rodents in Senegal.
A new species of the genus Subulura is described from 4 new rodent hosts: Arvicanthis niloticus, Mastomys erythroleucus, Mastomys huberti, and Tatera gambiana. Subulura saloumensis n. sp. differs from the congeneric species by the morphology of its head. the absence of buccal lobes, the length of right and left spicules, the absence of caudal alae, and the existence of a caudal papillae with a sensorial bristle. The latter, which we observe for the first time in specimens gathered from M. huberti, has never previously been described in a species of the genus Subulura.
