Two new species of Tachygonetria, T. africana n. sp. and T. pretoriensis n. sp. are described. Both are parasites of Geochelone pardalis (Bell) from South Africa. In addition, two subspecies, T. longicollis fitzsimmonsi Petter, 1966 and T. macrolaimus macrolaimus (Linstow, 1899), also parasites of Geochelone pardalis (from Pretoria Zoo, South Africa), are redescribed and new information on their morphology is presented. On the basis of their morphology, these subspecies are raised to full specific level.
描述了塔氏线虫属的两个新物种,即非洲塔氏线虫新种(T. africana n. sp.)和比勒陀利亚塔氏线虫新种(T. pretoriensis n. sp.)。这两个新物种均寄生于来自南非的豹纹陆龟(Geochelone pardalis (Bell))。此外,还重新描述了另外两个亚种,即长颈塔氏线虫菲茨西蒙斯亚种(T. longicollis fitzsimmonsi Petter, 1966)和大咽塔氏线虫指名亚种(T. macrolaimus macrolaimus (Linstow, 1899)),它们同样寄生于豹纹陆龟(来自南非比勒陀利亚动物园),并给出了关于其形态学的新信息。基于它们的形态特征,这些亚种被提升为完整的物种级别。
