[Copemania obendorfi n. gen. n. sp. (Nematoda: Trichostrongyloidea) parasite of an Australian marsupial (author's transl)].

Copemania obendorfi n. gen., n. sp., parasitic in Dasyurus maculatus in Victoria shows a mixture of primitive and specialised characters. From the morphology of the bursa, we interpret the species as derived from Nicollina, which are parasites of monotremes and which have invaded marsupialis.
