Extract

The genus Pneumostrongylus was erected by Münnig (1932) to accommodate the species, P. calcaratus, recovered from the lungs of the common impalla (Aepyceros m. melampus) from the Transvaal. Another species, based on the tail piece of a single male lungworm, was described by Dougherty (1945), from the common white-tailed deer, Odocoileus v. virginianus, from North America. The present species, P. ovis, is based on tail pieces of three male specimens which were recovered from bronchioles of sheep and goats at Murree (7000 ft. above sea-level).
