During routine survey for amphibian nematodes from coalfield areas of West Bengal, India 7 male and 12 female nematodes were recovered from the rectum of one out of three Duttaphrynus melanostictus (Schneider, 1899) examined for helminth infection from Kulti, Burdwan. On examination the recovered nematodes were found to belong to a new species of the genus Aplectana (Nematoda: Cosmocercidae) and the name Aplectana duttaphryni sp. nov. is proposed for them. This species is most similar to those species which possess gubernaculum but differs from all by distribution pattern of caudal papillae. Aplectana duttaphryni sp. nov. represents 49(th) species assigned to the genus, but only the 4(th) species reported from Oriental realm and second from India.
在对印度西孟加拉邦煤田地区两栖类线虫进行常规调查期间,从布尔杜万库尔蒂接受蠕虫感染检查的三只黑眶蟾蜍(Duttaphrynus melanostictus,施耐德,1899年)中的一只直肠内,采集到7条雄性和12条雌性线虫。经检查,所采集到的线虫被发现属于Aplectana属(线虫纲:Cosmocercidae科)的一个新物种,并为此提出了新种名Aplectana duttaphryni sp. nov.。该物种与具有引带的那些物种最为相似,但在尾乳突的分布模式上与所有其他物种不同。Aplectana duttaphryni sp. nov.是该属的第49个被认定的物种,但仅是东洋界报道的第4个物种,也是印度报道的该属第2个物种。
