Extract

One male and four females were recovered from the anterior part of the intestine of the house rat, Rattus rattus kijabius in Kenya. They were found to belong to an undescribed species of trichostrongyloid for which the name Longistriata (Brevispiculoides) kenyae is proposed. I wish to thank my friend Mr. W. F. J. McClelland for the material, and Professor J. J. C. Buckley for his interest in the work.
