Angiostoma schizoglossae n. sp. is described from Schizoglossa novoseelandica Pfeiffer collected from a forest in central North Island, New Zealand. Angiostoma schizoglossae is distinguished from other Angiostoma species with peloderan caudal alae in the Northern Hemisphere, by combined characters of subtriangular mouth, lack of lateral alae, and, in the male, variation in position and number of the pedunculate papillae. Its occurrence among the New Zealand endemic land snail fauna extends the known range of the monogeneric Angiostomatidae to include both the Holarctic and Southwest Pacific regions. This is suggestive of the ancient emergence of the Angiostomatidae and their long association with terrestrial molluscs. A key is provided for identification of all known Angiostoma species.
新西兰北岛中部森林中采集的新西兰新裂舌螺（Schizoglossa novoseelandica Pfeiffer）身上发现了新物种——裂舌血管口线虫（Angiostoma schizoglossae n. sp.）。裂舌血管口线虫与北半球其他具有具翼尾翼的血管口线虫物种不同，其特征在于口呈近三角形、无侧翼，雄性的具柄乳头位置和数量存在变异。它在新西兰特有陆地蜗牛动物群中的出现，将单属的血管口线虫科已知分布范围扩展到了全北区和西南太平洋地区。这表明血管口线虫科出现时间久远，且与陆生软体动物长期共生。文中还提供了一个用于鉴定所有已知血管口线虫物种的检索表。
