Description
Hysterothylacium magnum (Smedley, 1934) Deardorff & Overstreet, 1981
Synonyms: Contracaecum magnum Smedley, 1934; Thynnascaris magnum (Smedley, 1934) Margolis & Arthur, 1979
Comments: as noted by McDonald & Margolis (1995), Margolis & Arthur (1979) listed a previous Canadian record as Thynnascaris magna. Deardorff & Overstreet (1981) considered the genus Thynnascaris to be a junior synonym of Hysterothylacium and listed the species as H. magnum n. comb. In agreement with McDonald & Margolis (1995) the validity of this species requires re-assessment (see also Comments on H. melanogrammi below).
