Resumen en ingles
Dracunculus brasiliensis sp. n. (Dracunculidae),
is described based on a single female specimen found in the
body cavity of the anaconda, Eunectes murinus (L.)
(Ophidia: Boidae), from the Mexiana Island, Amazon River
delta, Brazil and one female previously recorded from the
subcutaneous tissue of this host species imported from
South America into Europe (ZOO in the Czech Republic).
The new species is characterised mainly by markedly large,
anteriorly protruding dorsal and ventral double papillae of
the internal circle and small lateral papillae of the same
circle, a widely rounded caudal end, the excretory pore
situated just posterior to the nerve ring, a distinctly
transversely striated cuticle and by the length (396–
429 μm) of larvae from uterus. This is the first species of
Dracunculus described from reptiles in South America.
