Abstract
Two new species of habronematid nematodes are described from Gunung Ciremai National Park, West Java, Indonesia. Procyrnea javaensis n. sp., collected from the gizzard of the Collared Scops Owl, Otus bakkamoena lempiji, can be distinguished from P. brevicaudata as the left side of body lacks two longitudinal ridges, in having a ventral rather than a sinistral vulvar opening, and in the shape of the female tail. The new species differs from P. ficheuri in shape of the left spicule, and in having asymmetrical caudal alae; from P. murrayi in shape of the left spicule; from P. ameerae by having a longer left spicule, different spicule ratio and one median preanal papilla; from P. dollfusi and P. aptera in the spicule ratio and in having a shorter female tail, and from P. haliasturi in the spicule ratio and in having a post-equatorial versus pre-equatorial vulva. Torquatoides noerdjitoi n.sp. collected from the gizzard of Sunda Frogmouth, Batrachostomus javensis javensis, can be distinguished from T. torquata, T. bengalensis, and T. crotophaga in lacking lateral alae. The new species differs from T. balanocephala in numbers of cuticular plaques and precloacal papillae; from T. singhi in having longer bodies, numbers of precloacal papillae, longer spicules, and in the egg size; and from T. trogoni in the numbers of precloacal papillae, in the shapes of right spicule and gubernaculum.References
