Extract

The Indian gerbil, Tatera indica indica, was collected in the arid western Rajasthan at Bikaner during the first weeks of July, August and September 1968. From sixty gerbils a large number of nematodes belonging to the genera Streptopharagus Blanc, 1912, Rictularia Froelich, 1802 and Trichuris Roederer, 1761, together with a few cestodes, were recovered from the stomach and intestine. The Streptopharagus sp. described below, vastly outnumbered the other worms and appears to be a new species.
