Abstract
Longior panamensis sp. nov. (Oxyurida: Hystrignathidae) is described parasitizing a passalid beetle from Panama. It resembles L. elieri García, Ventosa et Morffe, 2009 (from Cuba) by having a similar morphology of the first cephalic annule, wide annule in the cervical cuticle and coincident meristic variables. They can be differentiated by the extension of the lateral alae as well as the form of the end of these structures. The tail of L. panamensis sp. nov. is comparatively shorter and its first cephalic annule wider. Amendments to the description of the extension and morphology of the lateral alae of L. elieri are presented.
