Extract

The family Camallanidae is examined and two new subfamilies Procamallaninae and Camallaninae are erected for retaining the existing and new genera; the former subfamily for worms with a continuous buccal capsule and the latter for worms with a bivalve buccal capsule. The genus Camallanus s.l. is examined in detail and a revised definition given. Camallanus s.l. is divided into Camallanus s.s., Zeylanema Yeh, 1960, Piscilania gen. nov., and Serpinema gen. nov.
