The duikers from Makokou (Gabon) are parasitized by many species of Onchocerca but the adults are very often occult and can only be discovered by a systematical search. Three new species are described: O. sonini n.sp. in the feet-tendons, and O. lerouxi n.sp. in the muscular aponevrosis of the trunk of C. nigrifrons; O. beaveri n.sp. in the ligaments of the atlas-occipital articulation of C. monticola. Although their external appearance differs, these three species belong to a single group, which, from an evolutionary point of view, is intermediate between the more primitive Onchocerca of Equiids and those more evolved from other animals.
来自马科库（加蓬）的麂羚被多种盘尾丝虫寄生，但成虫常常隐匿，只能通过系统搜索才能发现。描述了三个新物种：在黑额麂羚足部肌腱中的索宁盘尾丝虫新种（O. sonini n.sp.）；在黑额麂羚躯干肌肉腱膜中的勒鲁盘尾丝虫新种（O. lerouxi n.sp.）；在山地麂羚寰枕关节韧带中的比弗盘尾丝虫新种（O. beaveri n.sp.）。尽管它们的外观不同，但这三个物种属于同一类群，从进化的角度来看，它们介于马科动物中较原始的盘尾丝虫和其他动物中进化程度较高的盘尾丝虫之间。
