title: Pterygodermatites (Mesopectines) senegalensis n. sp. (Nematoda, Rictulariidae), a parasite of Mastomys huberti (Rodentia, Muridae) in Senegal.
abstract: Pterygodermatites (Mesopectines) senegalensis n. sp. (Nematoda: Rictulariidae) is described from Mastomys huberti in Senegal. It differs from other species of the subgenus by the morphology of the head, which exhibits 4 simple cephalic papillae and a nearly axial buccal opening, the length of the spicules, the number of precloacal cuticular formations, and the absence of cephalic apophyses.
