dc.description.abstractThe filarial onchocercid Setaria graberi Shoho in Troncy, Graber & Thal, 1976 is redescribed from the abdominal cavity of Southern reedbuck, Redunca arundinum (Boddaert), in South Africa, including illustrations and scanning electron micrographs of important morphological features. Morphometric data for this species are provided for the first time. Setaria graberi is characterised by the possession of bifid deirids, and females having a distinctly bulbous tail. The slightly raised peribuccal crown forms a dumbbell-shaped unit with the cephalic elevations in apical view; the dorsal and ventral elevations, spaced 73–115 lm apart in females and 71–93 lm in males, carry two wellseparated tips each. In dorsoventral view, the cephalic elevations appear more or less rectangular with a slightly notched apex and are narrow in comparison to the width of the anterior end. They are triangular in lateral view. Four cephalic and four external labial papillae are arranged in a laterally elongated rectangle each. The species is distinguished from other Setaria Viborg, 1795 species that possess bifid deirids or occur in members of the same host genus. The presence of S. graberi in R. arundinum in South Africa constitutes a new host and geographic record.en
dc.description.abstractLa filaire Onchocercidae Setaria graberi Shoho in Troncy, Graber & Thal, 1976 est rede´crite a` partir de spe´cimens de la cavite´ abdominale du Grand Cobe des roseaux, Redunca arundinum (Boddaert), en Afrique du Sud, en incluant des illustrations et des images en microscopie e´lectronique a` balayage des aspects morphologiques importants. Des donne´es morphome´triques sont fournies pour la premie`re fois pour cette espe`ce. Setaria graberi est caracte´rise´e par la possession de deirides bifides, et par des femelles ayant une queue distinctement bulbeuse. La couronne pe´ribuccale le´ge`rement e´leve´e forme une unite´ en forme de cloche avec les e´le´vations ce´phaliques en vue apicale ; les e´le´vations dorsales et ventrales, se´pare´es par 73–115 lm chez la femelle et 71–93 lm chez le maˆle, portent chacune deux extre´mite´s bien se´pare´es. En vue dorso-ventrale, les e´le´vations ce´phaliques apparaissent plus ou moins rectangulaires avec un apex le´ge`rement entaille´ et sont e´troites par rapport a` l’e´paisseur de l’extre´mite´ ante´rieure. Elles sont triangulaires en vue late´rale. Quatre papilles ce´phaliques et quatre papilles labiales externes sont arrange´es en des rectangles allonge´s. L’espe`ce est distingue´e des autres espe`ces de Setaria Viborg, 1795 qui posse`de des deirides bifides ou se trouvent chez des hoˆtes membres du meˆme genre. La pre´sence de S. graberi chez R. arundinum en Afrique du Sud repre´sente un nouvel hoˆ te et une nouvelle mention ge´ographique.en
