In addition, a new family of the Oxyuroidea, namely Dubioxyuridae is created for the reception of the parasite from the shrew. The status of the three species Subulura suctoria. (Molin), Subulura differens (Sonsino), and Subulura brumpti (Nopez-Neyra) is discussed and evidence is brought forward to show that these three species are co-specific.26 pages : illustrationsen©1937 ARC - Onderstepoort and Faculty of Veterinary Science.
