Tetrameridae

provided by wikipedia EN

Tetrameridae is a family of spirurian nematodes. It is the smallest of the large genera making up the bulk of the superfamily Habronematoidea. Like all nematodes, they have neither a circulatory nor a respiratory system. They are parasites, chiefly of birds and cetaceans.

This family contains the largest known nematode: Placentonema gigantissima is several meters long and has been found in the placenta of the sperm whale (Physeter catodon). [1]

Systematics

The Tetrameridae number about half a dozen genera only, but some are rather speciose; the type genus Tetrameres contains a lot of species even by nematode standards. While it might be overlumped, as presently delimited about half of the more than 100 species of Tetrameridae are placed in it.

Subfamily Crassicaudinae Yorke & Maplestone, 1926

Subfamily Tetramerinae Travassos, 1914

Tetrameridae é uma família de nematódeos. É o menor dos grandes gêneros que compõe a maior parte da superfamília Habronematoidea. Como todos os nematódeos, eles não possuem sistema circulatório, nem respiratório. São parasitas, principalmente de pássaros e de cetáceos.[1]
