First description of male worms of Enterobius ( Colobenterobius ) serratus (Nematoda: Oxyuridae), the pinworm parasite of proboscis monkeys
2020
Males of Enterobius (Colobenterobius) serratus Hasegawa et al., 2003 (Nematoda: Oxyuridae) are described for the first
time based on six individuals collected from the feces of proboscis monkeys, Nasalis larvatus, in the Lower Kinabatangan
Wildlife Sanctuary, Sabah, Malaysian Borneo. The males show identical cephalic morphology to females, being readily
distinguishable from their congeners by the serrated inner margins of the lips. The bicolored esophageal corpus, long thin
spicule and developed spicular pouch with paired muscular bands are also remarkable characteristics, presumably shared
by other Asian members of the subgenus.
