摘要

Eucoleus trophimenkovi sp. n. from nasal sinuses of Martes martes (collected at the Voronezh Biosphere Reserve and adjacent territories) is described. Morphometric characteristics of male and female (36 characters) are given. The mean characteristics of male: length of the body is 7.88 mm; that of spicule, 0.89 mm; the number of stihocytes is 37; the testis is arranged in front of the sphincter ejaculatory duct; the distal cirrus is spinose. The mean characteristics of female: length of the body is 15.91 mm; the number of stihocytes is 38; eggs (66.3 x x 28.8 mum) are lengthened (form index 43.5). The system and evolution of parasitic nematodes of Capillariidae family are discussed. The position of spicule in relation to the pseudocloacal canal is the general characteristic separating the family into two almost equal groups. The groups correspond to the genera, Capillaria Zeder 1800 and Eucoleus Dujardin 1845.
