The proposed species Hassalstrongylus multiovatus, described from Akodon simulator, is a synonym of Trichofreitasia lenti from Oligoryzomys flavescens.[14]

Notes

edit
  1. ^ a b Durette-Desset transferred Longistriata musculi Dikmans, 1935, to Hassalstrongylus in 1972, but in 1974 recognized that she had based her earlier opinion on material that was not referable to H. musculi, but to a new species which she named H. forresteri.[11]
