Abstract
Eulimdana lari (Yamaguti, 1935) n. comb. (Nematoda: Filarioidea) was found in 1 of 26 Phalaropus lobatus (L.) and 3 of 9 P. tricolor (Vieillot) collected in Canada near Deer Island, New Brunswick, and Delta, Manitoba, respectively. This is the first report of the parasite in the New World and extends the distribution of the parasite across the Holarctic. Eulimdana lari is now known from 17 species of Charadriiformes, including P. tricolor which is a new host record. It is suggested that E. lari is a parasite of shorebird communities. Eulimdana lari is redescribed and a taxonomic review of Eulimdana Founikoff, 1934 is provided, including an amended generic diagnosis and an annotated list of the five species. Heimnema Chabaud, Brygoo, and Richard, 1964 is placed in synonymy with Eulimdana. In addition to E. lari (Yamaguti, 1935) n. comb., the following changes are made: E. micropenis (Travassos, 1926) n. comb. and E. heimi (Chabaud, Brygoo, and Richard, 1964) n. comb. Eulimdana mazzantii (Railliet, 1893) Neveu-Lemaire, 1936, is considered a species inquirenda. It is pointed out that the type species, E. clava (Wedl, 1856) Founikoff, 1934 has a worldwide distribution in pigeons.
