In riorly at level of anus; mouth surrounded by addition to the nematodes previously described, three lips; buccal cavity absent; esophagus specimens of an undescribed species of Pha- 0.28 (0.27-0.29) terminating in posterior bulb ryngodon Diesing, 1861, were obtained from 0.118 (0.11-0.12) wide by 0.09 (0.09-0.09) the caecilian Boiilengerula uluguruensis, col- long, projecting into intestine; intestine cylin- lected in Tanganyika. drical throughout length; anus 0.44 (0.37-0.51) The genus Pharyngodon was established by from anterior end; tail tapered to subulate Diesing with P. spinicauda (Dujardin, 1845) process 0.34 (0.31-0.37) in length; ten papillae (syn.

Presently, the genus rior end, and 1.00 (0.85-1.09) from posterior contains 41 species—six from amphibians and end slightly extensable; nerve ring not visible; 35 from reptiles. excretory pore 0.28 (0.20-0.36) from anterior end; uterine eggs fusiform 0.127 (0.126-0.129) METHODS long by 0.07 (0.07-0.07) wide, unsegmented and lacking oval plugs.
