<i>Mexiconema africanum</i> sp. n. (Nematoda: Daniconematidae) from the catfish <i>Auchenoglanis occidentalis</i> from Lake Turkana, Kenya

Original language description

A new species of dracunculoid nematode, Mexiconema africanum sp. n. (Daniconematidae), is described from the abdominal cavity and the intestine (rarely also the gall bladder) of the catfish Auchenoglanis occidentalis (Valenciennes) (Claroteidae, Siluriformes) from Lake Turkana, Kenya. The new species differs from two other congeners mainly in the absence of two large cell nuclei in the glandular oesophagus, presence of welldeveloped lateral cephalic elevations, more numerous (14) cephalic papillae and amuch longer body of the gravid female (18-22 mm); from Mexiconema cichlasomae Moravec, Vidal and Salgado Maldonado, 1992 also in less numerous (two) caudal processes and a different arrangement of genital papillae in the male. M. africanum is the firstrepresentative of the dracunculoid family Daniconematidae described from Africa.
