Anatrichosoma haycocki sp. n. (Nematoda: Trichuridae) is described from the paracloacal glands of Antechinus swainsonii (Waterhouse, 1840) and A. stuartii Macleay, 1841 (Marsupialia: Dasyuridae) from Nadgee State Forest, New South Wales, Australia. Immature male and female worms occur free in the intestine. A. haycocki is distinguished from other species of Anatrichosoma by the following suite of morphological characters: small size, absence of longitudinal cuticular striations in both sexes, subterminal constriction of male tail bearing 14 minute papillae and inflation of posterior portion of mature female giving Trichuris-like appearance. It is also characterised by its occurrence in paracloacal glands in a genus of small carnivorous dasyurid marsupial restricted to Australia and New Guinea. Skrjabinocapillaria rodentium Wertheim and Chabaud, 1979 is recognised as a synonym of Anatrichosoma gerbillis (Bernard, 1964). The genus Skrjabinocapillaria Skarbilovitsch, 1946 is placed as a synonym of Capillaria Zeder, 1800, resulting in the new combination for the type species: C. eubarsata (Skarbilovitsch, 1946) comb. nov. It is suggested that deep penetration of the female uterus by the male at insemination is a behavioural feature common to members of the Trichinelloidea and that the morphology of the male reproductive tract reflects the mechanisms of penetration employed by members of each genus.
新种哈氏无纹毛细线虫(Anatrichosoma haycocki sp. n.,线虫纲:毛首线虫科)采自澳大利亚新南威尔士州纳吉国家森林的斯氏宽足袋鼩(Antechinus swainsonii,Waterhouse,1840)和史氏宽足袋鼩(A. stuartii,Macleay,1841,有袋目:袋鼬科)的泄殖腔旁腺。未成熟的雄虫和雌虫自由生活在肠道中。哈氏无纹毛细线虫与无纹毛细线虫属的其他物种的区别在于以下一系列形态特征:体型小,两性均无纵向角质层条纹,雄虫尾部亚末端缢缩,有14个微小乳突,成熟雌虫后部膨大,呈似鞭虫的外观。其特征还包括寄生于仅分布在澳大利亚和新几内亚的小型肉食性袋鼬科有袋动物属的泄殖腔旁腺中。1979年的啮齿类斯克里亚宾毛细线虫(Skrjabinocapillaria rodentium Wertheim and Chabaud)被认定为格氏无纹毛细线虫(Anatrichosoma gerbillis,Bernard,1964)的同物异名。1946年的斯克里亚宾毛细线虫属(Skrjabinocapillaria Skarbilovitsch)被定为1800年的毛细线虫属(Capillaria Zeder)的同物异名,由此产生了模式种的新组合:真宽毛细线虫(C. eubarsata,Skarbilovitsch,1946)新组合。有人提出,在受精时雄虫深入雌虫子宫是毛形总科成员共有的行为特征,并且雄虫生殖道的形态反映了各属成员所采用的深入机制。
