The cephalic cap and cephalic collar are separated by a groove, wider and deeper in the dorsolateral sector and shallower in the ventrolateral sector. Amphids pore-like, dorsolateral, situated in the groove between the cephalic cap and the cephalic collar. Cephalic papillae very short, two sub-dorsal and two subventral. Cuticle finely annulated, covered with fine, dense microtricha, from the end of the cephalic collar to ca. the midpoint of body. The microtricha near the cephalic collar (dorsally, the ones that extends ca. two body widths further down the body and ventrally, the first two or three rows) are notably longer (ca. three times the length of the shorter microtricha located behind them). The shorter microtricha are as longer as the annuli (from ca. 1 µm at the anterior part of body to ca. 0.5 µm at midbody) and are arranged in alternate rows. Oral aperture sub-terminal, ventrally displaced, moderately elongated in a dorsoventral direction, its dorsal part slightly reduced and the ventral part with concave margin. Jaw-like apparatus modified as rasps, covered with very small spines arranged in opposite rows. Ventral rasp hypertrophied, forming a tongue-like structure inserted between two sub-dorsal rasps, not hypertrophied and embedded in the musculature of the oesophageal corpus. Pharynx with a hypertrophied corpus, very muscular and robust. Isthmus well developed, sub-cylindrical, almost as wide as the corpus, similar in length to the basal bulb. Basal bulb not hypertrophied, sub-spherical, cuticularised valve-plate present, cardias wide and short, projected into the intestine lumen. Intestine simple, sub-rectilinear, its fore region barely inflated. Nerve ring not evident, at level of the isthmus. Excretory pore ventrally situated, at level of the isthmus.</p> <p>Female: Vulva displaced to the posterior half of body. Anterior lip of vulva hypertrophied, forming a short lobe, slightly inflated, triangular in shape. Posterior lip of vulva with recurved margin. Vagina compara- tively short and muscular. Vaginal diverticulum absent. Genital tract monodelphic-prodelphic, Type 1 after Adamson (1987). Ovary reflexed at ca. five body-widths posterior to the basal bulb. Distal flexure of the ovary very long, ca. 14 body-widths long. Oöcytes of the distal part of the ovary in two rows, in the rest of the ovary they are arranged in a single row. The ovary continues with a uterus that leads in the vagina. Eggs ellipsoidal in shape, shell smooth and more or less thin. A number of 10- 41 eggs at a time in the uterus. Tail comparatively short, attenuate, its tip rounded.</p> <p>Male: Body shorter and less robust than females. Monorchic. Testis outstretched. Spicules isomorphic, almost isometric. Shafts ventrally arcuate. Capitulum not evident. Cuticle of the shafts smooth, not ornamented. Posterior end of body ventrally curved. Caudal alae well developed, sub-ventral, not lobate, extending from the tail tip to ca. 1.5 body-widths long. The posterior end of the caudal alae ending in a rounded lobe that extends to a short distance posterior to the tail tip. Nineteen copulatory papillae arranged as a median precloacal papilla and nine pairs situated on the caudal alae. Five pre-cloacal pairs, the first near the level of the cloaca; second and third pairs close to the first and equidistant from each other; fourth pair situated at ca. twice of the distance between the second and third pairs; fifth pair located at the end of the caudal alae, equidistant from both precedent pairs. A single pre-cloacal, median papilla located near the level of the third pre-cloacal pair. Post-cloacal papillae arranged in four equidistant pairs. Tail conical, short, its tip rounded, more or less digitiform.</p> <p>Discussion: Trachyglossoides jimenoi gen. nov. sp. nov. is very close to Trachyglossus by the presence of a cephalic cap laterally compressed, the oral aperture dorsoventrally elongated, the plate of the jaw apparatus hypertrophied as a tongue-like structure, the corpus and isthmus also hypertrophied, the anterior lip of vulva well developed and lobed and the males with caudal alae. It differs from Trachyglossus by the slight compression of the cephalic cap and the comparatively reduced elongation of the oral aperture vs. the more marked of Trachyglossus (Hunt, 2002). The tonguelike structure is ventral in the new genus in opposition to the dorsal of Trachyglossus and shows less development. In addition, the vulval flap of the females is reduced to a short, triangular lobe in Trachyglossoides instead of the more extended lobe of the Congolese genus. The caudal alae are not lobed and more extended vs. lobed and shorter and the number and ar- rangement of the copulatory papillae also differ: 19 in Trachyglossoides and 23 in Trachyglossus.</p> <p>Trachyglossoides jimenoi gen. nov. sp. nov. is the only monogonant xustrostomatid. The degree of the lateral compression of the cephalic cap as well as the dorso-ventral elongation of the oral aperture is less marked than in other genera in the family. It differs from Xustrostoma and Obainia by presenting the oesophageal corpus and the isthmus hypertrophied instead of the bulb as occurs in the latter genera (Adamson, 1983; Adamson &amp; Van Waerebeke, 1984). Also, it can be segregated by having a tongue-like plate in the jaw apparatus, a vulval flap, caudal alae in the males and a different number and arrangement of the copulatory papillae.</p> <p>Both Trachyglossoides gen. nov. and Zalophora present the corpus hypertrophied but differ by the presence of an evident isthmus in Trachyglossoides gen. nov. in opposition to the corpus amalgamated with the basal bulb (also hypertrophied) in Zalophora. Trachyglossoides gen. nov. shows a jaw apparatus consisting of a ventral tongue-like rasp with two sub-dorsal rasps. Otherwise, Zalophora present three cuticularized plates in the anterior part of the oesophagus, with their margins serrated (Hunt, 1994). The distinctive vulval flap and caudal alae of Trachyglossoides gen. nov. are absent in Zalophora.</p> <p>Type locality: La Jaula, San José de Las Lajas, Mayabeque province, Cuba.</p> <p>Type host: Spirobollelus sp.

Anterior end with the globular appearance characteristic of the genus but not too marked. Constriction of the body at the base of oesophagus not evident. Cuticle finely striated from the base of the cephalic collar to the level of the anus. No microtricha or spinelets present. Cephalic cap with four small papillae, two sub-dorsal and two sub-lateral. Oral aperture triangular in shape, dorsoventrally elongated. Two dorsoventral, barely developed cuticular crests present on each side of the oral aperture. Each crest presents a wide cleavage at its midpoint and two conical papillae, one dorsal and one lateral. Anterior end of pharynx with three cuticularized jaw-like structures, the dorsal shorter than the two sub-ventral, similar in length. Each jaw presents small, pointed and triangular teeth. Near each angle of the jaws there is one teeth notably larger, pointed and triangular. Between the two larger teeth of the sub-ventral jaws there are ca. 31 small teeth. Between the large teeth and the end of the sub-ventral jaws there seems to be ca. 10 small teeth (the crests make the observation difficult). Pharynx with the corpus and the bulb hypertrophied, notably rounded and muscular, inflated. The bulb is amalgamated to the corpus with half of its diameter. Intestine simple, subrectilinear, its fore region not inflated. Rectum short, anus not prominent. Excretory pore at level of the base of corpus. Vulva as a ventral median transverse slit, its lips not prominent, slightly displaced to the posterior half of body. Genital tract didelphic-amphidelphic, Type 1 after Adamson (1987). Eggs spherical, shell thin and smooth. A number of 10- 19 eggs at a time in the uterus. Tail comparatively short and subulate. Male unknown.</p> <p>Etymology: Z. dominicana sp. nov. differs from the other species in the genus by its shorter body and the crests less developed. Is similar in length to Z. repentina from Cuba (2.325 -2.625 vs. 2.575 -2.875), but differs by having reduced crests and the cephalic end less globular in shape. Z. repentina presents more evident crests and cephalic dilation (García &amp; Morffe, 2010). Moreover, the tail of Z. dominicana sp. nov. is subulate and shorter (c = 18.24-21.00 vs. 12.88-14.38), lacking the median caudal dilatation characteristic of the Cuban species, which presents a more attenuate and conical tail. Z. dominicana sp. nov. is slender than Z. repentina (a = 14.00-14.25 vs. a = 12.50-12.88) and the vulva is more anterior (V% = 50.48-59.14 vs. 61.17).</p> <p>Z. dominicana sp. nov. can be segregated from Z. hepialum and Z. nemophila (Hunt, 1994; Hunt &amp; Moore, 1999) by its crests reduced and not lobate and the shorter body (2.325 -2.625 vs. 5.590 -6.030 and 7.100 -7.590, respectively). Also, it differs in the rest of the measurements, always shorter in Z. dominicana sp. nov. as well as in the shape of the cephalic end, less inflated.</p> <p>Z. deinostoma presents short crests (Hunt &amp; Moore, 1999), as in Z. dominicana sp. nov., but differs in the longer tail (c = 8.10-11.10 vs. 18.24-21.00). On the other hand, Z. deinostoma (being the shortest of the Australasian species of the genus) is nearly twice the length of the Dominican species (3.380 -4.910 vs. 2.325 -2.625) as it happens with the rest of the measurements.</p> <p>Type locality: Río de los Negros, Santiago province, Dominican Republic.</p> <p>Type host: Unidentified Spirobolida (Diplopoda).</p> <p>Site: Hind gut.</p> <p>Etymology: Specific epithet referred to the Spanish name of the country of the type locality: the República Dominicana.</p></div> 	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03D787FDFFB2FFAEE2C2F9397D2DA81A	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
