Summary
Eleven Oxyuroid parasites are described in the present paper of which three belong to new genera and seven to new species. One species has been re-described. Basirella n.gen. is characterised in having a divided type of body into an anterior barrel-shaped part and a long posterior part. Neoprotozoophaga n.gen. possesses lateral alae in male, boat-shaped spicula and vulva in the oesophageal region. Propharyngodon n. gen. bears no spicule and accessory piece. Affinities are discussed. A host-parasite list is furnished.
