Extract

A number of filariid worms were obtained from the connective tissues of the muscles of two Malayan amphibians. These include 22 males and 40 females from Bufo asper Boulenger from Taiping, Perak; 2 males and 2 females from Bufo asper, from Gunong Pulai, Johore; and 1 male and 4 females from Rana cancrivora, Gravenhorst from Thomson Road, Singapore. On examination these were found to be a new species of Icosiella for which the name Icosiella innominata sp. nov. is now proposed. A tentative key has also been drawn up for the species of the genus.
