A new species of Oswaldocruzia Travassos, 1917, a parasite of Bufo marinus L. from Venezuela, is described. Like most Neotropical Oswaldocruzia, Oswaldocruzia venezuelensis sp. n. is characterized by spicules with three principal branches: blade, shoe and fork, and by a division of the fork within the distal third of the spicule length. O. vaucheri Ben Slimane et Durette-Desset, 1993 is the most closely related species due to its caudal bursa of type II and its cervical alae of the same shape but it differs in the following characters: the position of the papillae of rays 4 situated nearer the papillae of rays 3 rather than rays 5, a higher percentage of the ridges in the oesophageal region, the cervical alae three times longer and sharp and the spicular fork divided less deeply.
描述了一种新的奥斯瓦尔多克鲁兹属（Oswaldocruzia）线虫，于1917年由特拉瓦索斯（Travassos）命名，它是来自委内瑞拉的海蟾蜍（Bufo marinus L.）的寄生虫。与大多数新热带地区的奥斯瓦尔多克鲁兹属线虫一样，委内瑞拉奥斯瓦尔多克鲁兹线虫（Oswaldocruzia venezuelensis sp. n.）的特征是具有三个主要分支的交合刺：叶片、鞋形和叉形，并且在交合刺长度的远端三分之一内叉形有分隔。1993年的沃谢里奥斯瓦尔多克鲁兹线虫（O. vaucheri Ben Slimane et Durette-Desset）是关系最密切的物种，因为它具有II型尾囊和相同形状的颈翼，但在以下特征上有所不同：第IV射线乳突的位置更靠近第III射线的乳突而不是第V射线的乳突，食管区域脊的比例更高，颈翼长三倍且尖锐，交合刺叉的分隔较浅。
