Here we describe a new cosmocercid nematode, Aplectana nebulosa sp. nov., from the small and large intestines of Pleurodema nebulosum (Anura: Leptodactylidae), from the Monte desert of San Juan, Argentina. The new species belongs to the Aplectana group that possesses a gubernaculum and unpaired adcloacal papilla anteriorly to cloaca. It resembles A. membranosa, A. paraelenae and A. travassosi by the presence of four adcloacal papillae, but differs from those species by the following characters: number and arrangement of precloacal papillae; number and arrangement of postcloacal papillae; shape and size of spicules and gubernaculum, and by the presence of lateral alae in caudal region of males. The description of the new species is based on light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and we also provide a key to Neotropical species of Aplectana.
在此，我们描述一种来自阿根廷圣胡安蒙特沙漠的云雾侧褶蛙（无尾目：细趾蟾科）大小肠内的新科斯莫线虫，即云雾阿普线虫新种。该新物种属于具有引带且泄殖腔前有不成对泄殖腔旁乳突的阿普线虫属。它因有四个泄殖腔旁乳突而与膜状阿普线虫、副埃氏阿普线虫和特拉瓦索斯阿普线虫相似，但在以下特征上与这些物种不同：泄殖腔前乳突的数量和排列；泄殖腔后乳突的数量和排列；交合刺和引带的形状及大小，以及雄性尾部区域有侧翼。新物种的描述基于光学显微镜和扫描电子显微镜（SEM），并且我们还提供了新热带区阿普线虫属物种检索表。
