| dc.description.abstract | Anatonchus ferox n.sp. from Fiji is described and illustrated. Females are 3.6-4.1 mm long and have a stoma 64-70 X 38-45 Mm, a didelphic gonad and a filiform tail 640-760 tim long, and the male has a body 3.23 mm long and spicules 118 um long. The Family name Tigronchidae Ivanova & Dzhuraeva, 1971 is emended to Tigronchoididae and is synonymized with Anatonchidae. Tigronchotdes and Tigronchus are proposed as junior synonyms of Anatonchus. Anatonchus varidentus (Ivanova & Dzhuraeva, 1971) n.comb. and Anatonchus tauricus (Kirjanova in Kirjanova & Krall, 1969) n.comb. are proposed for Trigronchoides varidentus and Tigronchus tauricus, respectively. Truxonchus paralleni (Jairajpuri & Khan, 1982) n.comb. is proposed for Anatonchus paralleni Jairajpuri & Khan, 1982, and Truxonchus confiindus Siddiqi, 1984 becomes its junior objective synonym. Specimens of Anatonchus ferox n.sp. were recovered from samples collected by Marshall F. Kirby in 1976 in Fiji Islands. They were heat-killed, fixed in 3-5 per cent formalin solution and mounted in dehydrated glycerin after processing through warm lactophenol. The species is described below and comments are provided on the invalidity of Tigronchidae, Tigronchoides, Tigronchus and Truxonchus confundus. | en_US |
