The nematode Pseudophysaloptera enigmatica sp. nov. is described from the stomach of Dactylopsila trivirgata Gray, 1858, in Queensland, Australia. The new species is distinguished from congeners by its size and features present on the tail of the male. P. enigmatica sp. nov. is considerably larger than virtually all congeners, and can be differentiated by the presence of spicules and the shape and distribution of caudal papillae in the male tail. This is the first record of the genus in Australia and in marsupials. A review of the genus is provided.
线虫新物种隐秘拟 Physaloptera enigmatica sp. nov. 是从澳大利亚昆士兰州的三纹袋貂（Dactylopsila trivirgata Gray，1858 年）的胃中描述出来的。该新物种与同属其他物种的区别在于其大小以及雄性尾部的特征。隐秘拟 Physaloptera enigmatica sp. nov. 比几乎所有同属物种都大得多，并且可以通过雄性尾部存在交合刺以及尾乳突的形状和分布来区分。这是该属在澳大利亚和有袋类动物中的首次记录。文中还提供了对该属的综述。
