A new echinonematine nematode, Linstowinema breve sp. n., from the small intestine of the dasyurid marsupial Anthechinus agilis is described. The species is distinguished from its congeners by the possession of the following suite of characters: small size; first and third row of cephalic hooks similar in size; second row larger; 13-15 rows of body hooks without undulating edges on the dilated cuticle of the oesophageal region; oesophagus terminating at the level of the 5th-7th row of body hooks; ten pairs of caudal papillae; a large pair of lateral ad-cloacal papillae extend into small lateral alae. Linstowinema larvae previously recorded from A. agilis may be the same species. A key to species of the genus linstowinema is provided.
描述了一种来自敏捷袋鼬（Anthechinus agilis）小肠的新棘线虫，短林斯托线虫（Linstowinema breve sp. n.）。该物种与其同属物种的区别在于具有以下一系列特征：体型小；第一排和第三排头部钩大小相似；第二排较大；13 - 15排体钩，在食管区域扩张的角质层上没有波浪状边缘；食管在第5 - 7排体钩水平处终止；十对尾乳突；一对大的侧泄殖腔旁乳突延伸到小的侧翼。先前记录于敏捷袋鼬的林斯托线虫幼虫可能是同一物种。提供了林斯托线虫属物种的检索表。
