Description:

A new nematode, Rhabdochona mexicana sp. n., is described based on specimens recovered from the intestine of two species of fishes, Astyanax mexicanus (De Filippi) (type host) and Astyanax J'asciatus (Cuvier) (Characidae: Characiformes) in central Mexico. This species is characterised by the following characters: 10 anteriorly directed teeth in the prostom, a larger (left) spicule which is slender in form with a small bifurcation at its distal tip covered by a culicular membrane, a smaller (right) spicule without a barb at its distal tip, eggs bearing an irregular flock-like coaling, and a conical tail without a cuticular spike (in both sexes).
