Abstract

A new thelastomatid species, Aoruroides cochinchinensis sp. n., is described from the hindgut of Vietnamese Panesthiinae cockroaches collected in Bi Doup-Nui Ba National Park. It is the first report of nematodes of the genus Aoruroides Travassos & Kloss, 1958 from mainland Asia. Aoruroides cochinchinensis sp. n. males are characterized by thorn-like cuticular projections on the head end, maximal value of de Man index a (19.5) within the genus, and the nerve ring situated on the border of corpus and isthmus. Earlier, only knob-like cervical cuticular projections were described for males of A. queenslandensis Jex, Cribb & Schneider, 2004.
