Extract

A brief redescription is given of Pulmostrongylus herpestis (Khera, 1956) recovered from the pleural cavity of a mongoose, Herpestes sp. from Suva, Fiji. The genus Herpestostrongylns Khera, 1956 is shown to be untenable and placed as a synonym of Puhnostrongylus Hsu, 1935. The genus Acanthoxynema Khera, 1956 is shown to be a synonym of Skrjabinema Vereshchagin, 1926; and the genus Papillosclerus Khera, 1956, a synonym of Metathelazia Skinker, 1931. and its subfamily Osleriinae Khera, 1956 is supressed.
