A new nematode species, Rhabdochona longleyi sp. n. is described from the intestine of two species of blind catfishes, Trogloglanis pattersoni Eigenmann (type host) and Satan eurystomus Hubbs et Bailey (both fam. Ictaluridae, Siluriformes) from the subterranean waters (artesian wells penetrating San Antonio pool of Edwards Aquifer) of Texas, USA. It is characterized largely by the presence of only six anterior teeth in the prostom, simple deirids, by the shape and length of spicules (0.42 to 0.50 mm and 0.093-0.102 mm), shape of the tail tip (rounded), and by filamented eggs. R. longleyi probably adapted to the environment of the aquifer by utilizing available troglobitic crustaceans instead of aquatic insects as an intermediate host.
一种新的线虫物种，朗氏似鳗线虫（Rhabdochona longleyi sp. n.），是从两种盲鲶鱼的肠道中发现并描述的，这两种盲鲶鱼分别是来自美国得克萨斯州地下水域（穿透爱德华兹含水层圣安东尼奥水池的自流井）的帕特森盲鲶（Trogloglanis pattersoni Eigenmann，模式宿主）和阔口盲鲶（Satan eurystomus Hubbs et Bailey，均属于鲇形目真鮰科）。它的主要特征包括：口前叶仅有六颗前齿、排泄孔简单、交合刺的形状和长度（0.42至0.50毫米以及0.093 - 0.102毫米）、尾尖形状（圆形）以及丝状卵。朗氏似鳗线虫可能通过利用现有的洞穴甲壳类动物而非水生昆虫作为中间宿主来适应含水层环境。
