Neoheligmonella moennigi ( Baylis, 1928)

(= Heligmonella moennigi Baylis, 1928 ) ( Tables 2 , 4, 9, Figures 2 , 29–32 )

The type material is made up of six males (slides 62, 63, 64) and three females (slides 63, 64) from the small intestine of one Praomys tullbergi n° 189 from Adu, Nigeria. The voucher material came from two P. tullbergi (n° 114, nº 22) from Adu and two Malacomys edwardsi (nº 45, nº 118) also from Adu. We also treat as voucher material two males from Praomys tullbergi nº 175 (slide 130) identified by Baylis as Heligmonina praomyos and two males from Cricetomys emini nº 197 (slides 74, 75) identified by Baylis as Heligmonina cricetomyos . These four males were found to correspond to N. moennigi .
