Extract

The nematodes described below were collected by M. L. Emanuel from two specimens of the pouched mouse, at Innisfail, North Queensland. They were very kindly sent to the author by Dr M. J. Mackerras of the Queensland Institute of Medical Research. Both species of parasite were present in both host animals. Trichostrongyles have not previously been described from phascogales but a metastrongyle, two spirurids, and a rictulariid, are listed by Dr Mackerras in her check-list of parasites of Australian mammals (Mackerras, 1958). To these may now be added the present records, the details of which are as follows: Phascogale flavipes (Waterhouse, 1838). Innisfail, Queensland. Nicollina phascogale sp.nov., Tetrabothriostrongylus mackerrasae gen.nov., sp.nov.
