Extract

Three species of the nematode genus Capillaria Zeder, 1800, namely C. exilis, C. ovopunctata and C. similis, are described from material collected from the intestines of four avian hosts—Turdus merula, T. viscivorus, T. ericetorum and Sturnus vulgaris. C. similis is fully described for the first time. A consideration of these species reveals that the original description of C. exilis is inaccurate and that some revision is necessary in the systematics of this and of the other two species.
