--Morphology--Helminthoxys tiflophila (Vigueras, 1943) parasite in Capromys prehensilis (Caviomorpha, Rodent) is redescribed. In the males of this species occurs a peculiar type of ventral cuticular swellings. The adherence with cuticula of females is not obtained by hooking, but by gluing: a ventral hypodermal secretion coagulates on surface of swellings. --Systematic--The genus Helminthoxys Freitas, Lent and Almeida, 1937 is compared by means of cladistic method with the most closely related forms: 1--The genera Helminthoxys and Octodonthoxys Quentin, Courtin and Fontecilla, 1975 cannot be distinguished using this method, 2--Helminthoxys-Octodonthoxys is the sister group of Wellcomia, Sambon 1907, Protozoophaga Travassos, 1923. 3--These four genera, all parasite in Hystricognathi Rodents may be opposed as a sister-group to the Oxyuridae parasite in Sciurognathi Rodents and Lagomorpha. 4--The whole Oxyuridae parasite in Rodents (excepted Citellina Prendel, 1948) and Lagomorpha form a monophyletic group.
——形态学——对寄生在卷尾鼠（豚鼠亚目，啮齿动物）体内的蒂氏蠕虫（维格拉斯，1943年）进行了重新描述。在该物种的雄性个体中出现了一种特殊类型的腹侧表皮肿胀。雌性个体与表皮的附着并非通过钩挂，而是通过黏附：腹侧皮下分泌物流出并在肿胀表面凝结。——系统学——采用分支系统学方法，将1937年弗雷塔斯、伦特和阿尔梅达建立的蠕虫属与关系最为密切的类群进行了比较：1——使用这种方法无法区分蠕虫属和1975年昆廷、库尔坦和丰特西利亚建立的八齿蠕虫属。2——蠕虫属-八齿蠕虫属是1907年桑邦建立的威尔科米亚属、1923年特拉瓦索斯建立的原生动物吞噬属的姐妹群。3——这四个属均寄生于豪猪亚目啮齿动物，它们可能作为一个姐妹群与寄生于松鼠亚目啮齿动物和兔形目动物的尖尾科相对。4——寄生于啮齿动物（除1948年普伦德尔建立的黄鼠属外）和兔形目的所有尖尾科寄生虫构成一个单系群。
