Abstract

A detailed redescription of Gazellostrongylus lerouxi and Paracooperia serrata was given from specimens collected from antelopes in Kenya. It was felt that there was no justification for the synonymy of the genus Gazellostrongylus with Paracooperia. Gazellostrongylus was placed in the tribe Ostertagiea.
