Resumen:
Molineus lotoris n. sp., parasite of the intestine of the raccoon
Procyon lotor collected in Mexico is described and illustrated. The new
species can be differentiated from the 27 species included in Molineus
by a combination of traits: presence of a prominent and globular
cephalic vesicle; spicules with 2 terminal processes, measuring
0.099-0.115 in length and by the number of synlophe ridges at mid-body
level of males (17). In addition, a taxonomic key for the species
included in Molineus is presented. Finally, some other nematode species
collected in raccoons from several localities of Mexico are recorded,
including two species not reported for this host in this country:
Cameronecator urichi and Aonchotheca (Aonchotheca) putorii.
