Abstract

The family Hystrignathidae (Thelastomatoidea, Oxyurida, Nematoda) is revised. The following genera are included in the family:Anomalostoma Cordeira,Anuronema Clark,Artigasia Christie,Boraceianema Travasssos & Kloss,Carlosia Travassos & Kloss,Christiella Travassos & Kloss,Coronocephalus Cordeira,Glaber Travassos & Kloss,Hystrignathus Leidy,Klossiella Cordeira,Klossnema Cordeira,Lepidonema Cobb,Longior Travassos & Kloss,Mentecle Travassos & Kloss,Papillabrum Kloss,Passalidophila Van Waerebeke,Phalacronema Clark,Salesia Travassos & Kloss,Soaresnema Travassos & Kloss,Sprentia Clark,Triumphalisnema Kloss,Urbanonema Travassos & Kloss,Ventelia Travassos & Kloss,Vulcanonema Travassos & Kloss andXyo Cobb.Paraxyo Travassos and Kloss is considered a synonym ofArtigasia Cobb with the following resulting new combinations:A. ensicrinatus (Hunt) andA. monodelpho (Travassos & Kloss).Artigasia pauliani var.joliveta Théodoridès is raised to the rank of species. Complete diagnoses are given to all genera and annotated lists of species are provided.
