03B80107FFA5FFF1F22BFBF1FAFCF80C.taxon	description	Type host: Mesomys hispidus (Desmarest, 1817) (Rodentia: Echimyidae). Type locality: municipality of Barcelos (00 ° S 64 ° W), state of Amazonas, Brazil. Collector and date: Francisco Lima Santos, July 17, 1995. Material examined: Hapantotypes, Giemsa-stained films of peripheral blood of experimentally infected laboratory mice: one epimastigote and 28 trypomastigotes, deposited in the Muséum National d 0 Histoire Naturelle, Paris, France (MNHN) under registration number MNHN ZS 126. Vector: Unknown. Strain-code: IM- 4156 (Laboratory designation). Etymology: Specific name in recognition of Professor Ralph Lainson’s contributions to the study of protozoan parasites in the Amazonian fauna of Brazil. Description (Figures 1 – 20; Table 1) Bloodstream trypomastigotes (Figures 2 – 20) with a mean length of 33.4 including free flagellum and width 4 – 6. Free flagellum 4.0 – 10.0 (mean 7.7); undulating membrane well developed. Posterior end of the body long and pointed (Figures 17 – 20) or cuneiform (Figure 4); anterior end tapering to free flagellum. Nucleus oval, longitudinal or transverse near middle of body with a nuclear index (NI) of 0.7 – 1.4, but mainly 0.9 – 1.1; kinetoplast closer to nucleus than to posterior end with kinetoplastic index (KI) of 2.2 – 6.0, but mainly 0.9 – 1.1, and marginal. Other measurements are given in Table 1. A single bloodstream epimastigote was detected, with its nucleus in a strongly posterior position and NI of 0.4 (Figure 1).	en	Naiff, Roberto Daibes, Barrett, Toby Vincent (2013): Trypanosoma (Megatrypanum) lainsoni n. sp. from Mesomys hispidus (Rodentia: Echimyidae) in Brazil: trypomastigotes described from experimentally infected laboratory mice.
