Abstract

Acuarioid nematodes collected from whimbrels (Numenius phaeopus hudsonicus) in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, Canada, consisted of Skujabinocerca bennetti sp. n.; Ancyracanthopsis schikhobalovi (Guschanskaya, 1950); Skrjabinoclava snorrasoni Anderson and Wong, 1992; and Sciadiocara umbellifera (Molin, 1860), and Streptocara sp. Ancyracanthopsis schikhobalovi and S. snorrasani occurred in whimbrels in Iceland which also harbored 4 species of acuarioids not found in Cape Breton. Skrjabinocerca bennetti sp. n. is distinguished from the other 3 species in the genus by its unusually long right spicule (345 mu m versus 160 mu m or less).
