The genus was recently erected for a single species, from bufonid hosts in South Africa. In present study, we discovered two undescribed species of , namely n. sp. and n. sp. parasitising frogs and , respectively. Both species differ from and between each other in shape and relative length of oesophagus, size of spicules, arrangement of genital papillae and morphology of caudal alae in males. Phylogenetic analysis based on concatenated fragments of the 18S ribosomal ribonucleic acid (18S rRNA) and the Cytochrome oxidase subunit I (COI) genes confirmed both species as sister to Icosiellinae and Oswaldofilariinae.
该属最近因一个单一物种而建立,该物种来自南非的蟾蜍宿主。在本研究中,我们发现了两种未描述的该属物种,即分别寄生于蛙类 和 的 新种和 新种。这两个物种在食管的形状和相对长度、交合刺的大小、生殖乳头的排列以及雄性尾翼的形态上与 不同,且彼此之间也存在差异。基于18S核糖体核糖核酸(18S rRNA)和细胞色素氧化酶亚基I(COI)基因的串联片段进行的系统发育分析证实,这两个物种都是 ,是Icosiellinae和Oswaldofilariinae的姐妹群。
