Notes

Basing on the fragments of typical specimens new details of morphology of O. lupi females are given. The presence of cuticular thickenings in the form of half rings, with the bifurcated or turned ends is stated. On the surface of cuticula of microfilariae there is very delicate regular transversal striation. The morphometrical features of O. lupi with descriptions of close species were compared.
