    Abstract:
    On the basis of morphological characteristics of adult and microfilarial stages, Wuchereria kalimantani sp. n. (Nematoda: Filarioidea) is described. The parasites were recovered from the inguinal lymph nodes and testes of silvered leaf monkeys (Presbytis cristatus) from a rubber estate, Banjar Regency, South Kalimantan (Borneo), Indonesia. Adult males are characterized by having more than 24 caudal papillae, a left spicule with a simple lamina, four pairs of sessile caudal papillae, a blunt tail, a mean overall length of 41 mm, and sheathed microfilariae with a nude tail tip; accordingly, the parasite is placed in the genus Wuchereria. This is the second species of Wuchereria described on the basis of both adult and embryonic forms, and is the first such species that has been found to infect primates naturally.
