Extract

1. A description is given of a new filarial parasite, Deraïophoronema freitaslenti n.sp. from the mesentery of the giant anteater, Myrmecophaga tridactyla, from British Guiana.

2. A proposed reclassification of Dipetalonema and related genera is given. Genera considered as valid are Acanthocheilonema, Breinlia, Dipetalonema, Mönnigofilaria, Deraïophoronema and Tetrapetalonema. Molinema is considered to be a synonym of Acanthocheilonema.

3. A new genus, Johnstonema, is erected for the reception of J. annulipapillatum (Johnston & Mawson, 1938).
