Abstract

Philometra kobuleji (Nematoda: Philometridae) is described as a new species from the abdominal cavity of a North American freshwater fish, Catostomits commersoni.

During a parasitological survey on stream fishes of Southern Ontario, males and females of a Philometra species were collected from white suckers, Catostomus commersoni (Laédpéde). This parasite differs from all known Philometra species recorded by Hoffman (1967) in North America.
