Resumen:
A new nematode species, Foleyellides rhinellae sp. nov. (Onchocercidae),
is described from specimens found in the body cavity of the cane toad,
Rhinella marina (Linnaeus) (Anura, Bufonidae), in the Laguna de Coyuca,
Guerrero, in the Pacific slope of Mexico. The new species differs from
the other nine species of Foleyellides by infecting bufonid anurans and
by the number and arrangement of caudal papillae. Other distinguishing
feature of the new species is the size of the left spicule (0.16-0.23
long), the smallest recorded among the species included in the genus.
Foleyellides rhinellae sp. nov. is the second known species of the genus
recorded from amphibians of Mexico.
