Abstract
Syphatineria Africanoxys pearsi Baylis 1928 un oxyure décrit chez un écureuil africain Heliosciurus rufobrachium Waterhouse au Nigéria est redécrit à partir dun matériel collecté chez un Heliosciurus gambianus Ogilby capturé au Zaire Les caractéristiques du sousgenre Africanoxys Hugot 1981 sont ensuite discutées Le sousgenre Africanoxys est spécifique des écureuils du bloc forestier congolais On peut distinguer deux groupes dans le sousgenre daprès la longueur du spicule et celle du gubernaculum Les parasites du premier groupe ont tous pour hôtes des Funambulini Les parasites du deuxième groupe ont pour hôtes des Protoxerini et Aethosciurus poensis A Smith La parasitologie apporte donc des arguments à lhypothèse dun rapprochement dAethosciurus poensis dont la position systématique est controversée avec les Protoxerini plutôt quavec les FunambuliniSyphatineria Africanoxys pearsi Baylis 1928 was described from an African squirrel Heliosciurus rufobrachium Waterhouse in Nigeria This species is redescribed from specimens collected in an Heliosciurus gambianus Ogilby captured in Zaire The morphological and biological characteristics of the subgenus Africanoxys Hugot 1981 are discussed The subgenus Africanoxys is specific to African rain forest squirrels and based upon the lengths of the spicule and gubernaculum two different groups can be distinguished in this subgenus The first group is parasitic in the Funambulini and the second one is parasitic in the Protoxerini and in Aethosciurus poensis A Smith Although the taxonomic status of genus Aethosciurus is controversial Parasitology allows us to relate Aethosciurus to the Protoxerini rather than to the Funambulini
