Abstract

A new nematode D. saheefi n. sp. is recorded from the body cavity of Jungle myna Acridotheres fuscus of District Larkana, Sindh, Pakistan. In all, 30 nematodes (♀) were recorded. Present nematodes reflect diversification from their congeners in the following characters viz: body measurement, morphological shape, shape of trident, and shape of esophagus. On the basis of such morpho-metrical changes in this species; D. saheefi treated as a new species. This new species is dedicated in the honor and name of younger sister Miss Saheefa Soomro.
