The emendation of the description of Litomosoides silvai Padilha and Faria, 1977 was based on results obtained by light and scanning electron microscopy. The filarioids were obtained from Akodon cursor (syn. Akodon arviculoides) found at the Catimbau Grande site in Rio Bonito, Brazil. Some features that are added to the original description include the en face view of the cephalic end, the width of the buccal capsule, the nerve ring, and the pattern of cuticular striations for both sexes. Also included are the morphologic characteristics of the spicules, the number of papillae, the area rugosa, the lateral line of the male, the shape of the buccal capsule, vulva, and anus of the female, and the microfilariae. The morphology of the spicules confirms that this species is part of the carinii line, according to Bain et al. (1989).
对1977年帕迪利亚和法里亚所描述的西尔瓦丝虫的修订是基于光学显微镜和扫描电子显微镜观察结果。这些丝虫类是从巴西里约博尼图的卡廷博格兰德地区发现的库氏稻鼠（同物异名：阿氏稻鼠）体内获取的。在原始描述基础上补充的一些特征包括头部正面观、口囊宽度、神经环以及两性的表皮条纹模式。还包括交合刺的形态特征、乳突数量、皱纹区、雄性的侧线、雌性的口囊形状、阴门和肛门以及微丝蚴。根据贝恩等人（1989年）的研究，交合刺的形态证实该物种属于卡里尼系。
