Pterygodermaties (Mesopectines) nycticebi (Mönnig, 1920) (Nematoda: Spirurida: Rictulariidae) is redescribed based on immature and mature adults collected from the stomach and small intestine at autopsy of a slow loris, Nycticebus coucang (Boddaert, 1785) (Mammalia: Primates), in a zoological garden in Japan. It is first demonstrated that male possesses a minute telamon and a left lateral pore in the preanal part of body. The cause of death of the slow loris is strongly surmised to be related to the nematode infection, which was apparently acquired under captivity in the zoological garden.
基于从日本一家动物园的懒猴（Nycticebus coucang，Boddaert，1785年）（哺乳纲：灵长目）尸检时从胃和小肠中采集的未成熟和成熟成虫，对夜猴翼皮线虫（Mesopectines）nycticebi（Mönnig，1920年）（线虫纲：旋尾目：里氏线虫科）进行了重新描述。首次证明雄性在身体肛门前部有一个微小的交合伞和一个左侧孔。强烈推测懒猴的死亡原因与线虫感染有关，这种感染显然是在动物园圈养环境中获得的。
