S. 0.64mm and R. S. 0.120-0.128 mm in contrast to L. S. 0.374-0.428 mm and R. S. 0.092-0.102 mm). 2. Spinitectus shaowuensis, sp. nov. (fig. 2) Habitat: Intestine of Crossostoma davidi Sauvage. This species resembles B. neilli Karve et Naik, 1951, but differs in the smaller sizeof body, the length of spicule (L. S. 0.227-0.240mm and R. S. -0.087-0.095mm incontrast to L. S. 0.190 mm and R. S. 0.105 mm), and the size of eggs (35-38×21-24μin contrast to 48-55×31-35μ). 3. Spironoura wugiensis, sp. nov. (fig. 3) Habitat: Intestine of Staurois wuyiensis Liu et Hu.

Brevistriata calloscuri, sp. nov. (fig. 5) Habitat: Intestine of Calloscurus erythraeus ningpoensis (Bonhote). This species resembles B. fukiensis Wang, Zhao et Chen, 1978, but differs in thebody size, the character of dorsal ray, the cuticle with 16 short longitudinal striations,and the size of eggs (78-80×36-38μ in contrast to 68-75×35-45μ). 6. Longistriata mustelae, sp. nov. (fig. 6) Habitat: Intestine of Mustela sibirca davidiana (Milne-Edwards). This species resembles L. castrosilvai Almeida, 1934, but differs in the smaller sizeof body (3.02-4.32×0.144-0.160 mm in male and 3.6-3.8×0.115-0.128 mm infemale), the external dorsal ray arising the middle of dorsal ray, and in the absenceof gubernaculum. Type specimens of the 6 new species are kept in the Parasitological ResearchLaboratory, Fujian Normal University.
