RALPH LICHTENFELS Animal Parasitology Institute, Agricultural Research Center, Agricultural Research Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture, Beltsville, Maryland 20705 ABSTRACT: Trichostrongylin nematodes are usually identified by characteristics of the male. In an effort to find additional diagnostic characteristics of both sexes of 6 common species of Cooperia of cattle and sheep, cuticular ridges were studied. All 6 species have 10 large ridges in dorsal and ventral fields of 5 each. In addition, all have 2 to 8 smaller ridges in each lateral field; the number is greater posteriorly. A study of males identified by other characteristics revealed differences among the species in the pattern of large and small ridges. Patterns of ridges observed in males were also found in females. The 6 species can be separated into 2 groups by the anterior pattern of the lateralmost large ridges. In Cooperia pec- tinata, Cooperia punctata, Cooperia oncophora, and Cooperia surnabada, the anterior ends of the lateral- most large ridges join to form a caret-like point considerably behind the anterior ends of the other large ridges that extend to the cephalic expansion (closed pattern). In Cooperia curticei and Cooperia spatu- lata, the lateralmost ridges do not come together and they extend to the cephalic expansion (open pat- tern). Variations in number and pattern of small lateral ridges are useful in further separating the 2 groups of species. The pattern of distribution of the anterior pair of small ridges in the cervical region combined with the number of small ridges posteriorly makes possible the identification of both males and females of all 6 species. After identification of females by cuticular ridge characteristics, differences in vulval morphology were combined with spicular and cuticular differences to construct an illustrated key to the 6 species. Six species of the genus Cooperia arc found for identifying males and females of these in sheep and cattle in North America (Table nematodes. 1). As with most Trichostrongylina nematodes, Longitudinal ridges are present on the they can be identified by characteristics of the cuticle of most trichostrongylinas and some males. Females, however, usually cannot be other nematodes. The morphology and num- identified in infections involving more than one ber of cuticular ridges are useful characteristics species. The distribution of Cooperia spatulata in understanding the evolution of the Helig- and Cooperia puncata has been confused by mosomatoiclea (Desset, 1964; Durette-Desset, the difficulty in separating even the males of 1969, 1970, 1971, and others).
