New species of Wallabinema Beveridge, 1983 (Nematoda: Strongyloidea) and a redescription of W. gallardi (Johnston & Mawson, 1939) from Australian macropodid marsupials

Two new species of Wallabinema Beveridge, 1983 are described from the sacculated fore-stomachs of macropodid marsupials in Australia. Wallabinema petrogale n. sp. from the rock wallabies Petrogale penicillata (J. Gray) and P. inornata Gould, from Queensland, differs from all congeners in having its four sub-median lips subdivided at the base. Wallabinema macropodis n. sp. from the black stripe wallaby Macropus dorsalis (J. Gray) and the red-necked pademelon Thylogale thetis (Lesson), also from Queensland, is most similar to congeners with the nerve-ring encircling the oesophageal isthmus (W. parvispiculare Beveridge, 1983, W. tasmaniense Beveridge, 1983 and W. thylogale Beveridge, 1983), but differs in the length of the spicules. Wallabinema gallardi (Johnston & Mawson, 1939) is redescribed from T. thetis in Queensland and New South Wales, with T. thetis considered to be the type-host.
