Two new species of Cameronia basir, 1948 (Oxyurida, thelastomatoidea,thelastomatidae) from manipur, north-east india
During a survey of insect nematodes from Manipur, two new species ofnematodes parasitic in the hindgut of mole cricket Gryllotalpa africana were recovered. The two newspecies are designated as Cameronia triovata sp. nov. and Cameronia manipurensis sp. nov. C.triovata sp. nov. is characterized by presence of three eggs which are fused on lateral sides byridges and furrows and presence of polar egg filaments while in C. manipurensis sp. nov., the eggsare more than five in one group and attached simply one upon another. A comparative measurementchart (see Table I) as well as key to the species of Cameronia have been provided. The diagnosis ofthe genus has been emended in order to accommodate the two new species.
