Rhabdias filicaudalis n. sp. (Nematoda: Rhabdiasidae) from the lung of Spilotes pullatus (Serpentes: Colubridae) is described. The host snake was captured in the municipality of Avaré, São Paulo State, Brazil. Rhabdias filicaudalis n. sp. differs from all other species by the combination of the following characters: straight body, truncated anterior end, six weakly developed lips arranged in two opposite groups of three, pre-equatorial vulva, oesophagus length/body length ratio (%) 4.9-7.5 (5.8 +/- 0.6), nerve ring distance from anterior end/oesophagus length ratio (%) 36.9-61.1 (49.8 +/- 6.4), tail length/body length ratio (%) 3.0-5.5 (4.0 +/- 0.5), vulva distance from anterior end/body length ratio (%) 39.9-51.7 (45.9 +/- 3.5), and a cuticular filiform tail tip.
描述了采自巴西圣保罗州阿瓦雷市的绿瘦蛇(游蛇科:游蛇属)肺部的丝状尾后圆线虫新种(线虫纲:后圆线虫科)。宿主蛇是在巴西圣保罗州阿瓦雷市捕获的。丝状尾后圆线虫新种与所有其他物种的区别在于具有以下特征组合:身体直,前端截断,六个发育较弱的唇排列成两组相对的三个,赤道前阴门,食管长度/身体长度比率(%)为4.9 - 7.5(5.8 ± 0.6),神经环距前端距离/食管长度比率(%)为36.9 - 61.1(49.8 ± 6.4),尾长/身体长度比率(%)为3.0 - 5.5(4.0 ± 0.5),阴门距前端距离/身体长度比率(%)为39.9 - 51.7(45.9 ± 3.5),以及角质丝状尾尖。
