Species Physalopteroides filicauda Jones, 1985
- Physalopteroides filicauda Jones, H.I. 1985. Two new species of nematode (Spirurida: Physalopteridae) from Australian lizards (Reptilia: Scincidae: Gekkonidae). Journal of Natural History 19(6): 1231-1237 [1234].
Introduction
Localities from Goldberg & Bursey (2021) are difficult to interpret. Localities where infected host specimens were collected are not mentioned explicitly - only a single location is provided (via database search in the Harold Manter Parasitology Laboratory where P. filicauda specimens are stored), but it is possible that P. filicauda also occurs at the other listed locality.
