“…3) The type specimens were on permanent slides and therefore it was not possible to study this species in apical view. Nevertheless much information could be obtained from a dorsal view of the head and Olsen (1938) gave a useful drawing of the cephalic extremity in apical view. The lips in this species are markedly small.…”

“…Study of cephalic, oesophageal and male caudal structures and of the egg demonstrates that both species belong in the Kathlaniidae and they are reclassified as Falcaustra inglisi (Anderson, 1964) n. comb. and Megalobatrachonema gigantica (Olsen, 1938)n. comb.…”

Aplectana gigantica Olsen, 1938 and Oxysomatium inglisi Anderson, 1964 (Cosmocercidae) have been re-examined. Study of cephalic, oesophageal and male caudal structures and of the egg demonstrates that both species belong in the Kathlaniidae and they are reclassified as Falcaustra inglisi (Anderson, 1964) n. comb. and Megalobatrachonema gigantica (Olsen, 1938)n. comb. The genus Megalobatrachonema Yamaguti, 1941 is divided into M. (Megalobatrachonema ) n. subg. (with M. nipponica Yamaguti, 1941 and M. gigantica) and M. (Chabaudgolvania) n. subg. (with M. campanae Chabaud & Golvan, 1959 and M. terdentatum (Linstow, 1898)). M. (Chabaudgolvania) lacks oesophageal valves which are present in M.

The cuticle is smooth. The lateral alae extend from the middle of the oesophagus to the region of the spicules in the males, but in females they are extended further posterior to the middle of the tail or more. The anterior short "pharynx", the procorpus, is poorly differentiated from the remaining cylindrical portion of the oesophagus. Three sclerotized structures are present at the anterior end of the oesophagus. The posterior flaps of the valves of the bulb extend slightly into the dilated lumen of the intestine. The intestine at its commencement is broader than the bulb, and gradually narrows down towards the anus. The excretory pore is situated anterior to the usual pre-bulbar position, and is located at the beginning of the posterior third of the cylindrical oesophagus. It is surrounded by a crown of chitinous rod-like structures. The tail is sharply pointed in both sexes.
