* Raphidascaris acus (Bloch, 1779) Railliet & Henry, 1915 Synonyms: Raphidascaris canadensis Smedley 1933; Raphidascaris laurentianus Richardson, 1937; Raphidascaris alius Lyster, 1940 Description (after J. D. Smith 1984b). L 4 males: mean 2.777 (range 2.522–3.197) long; L 4 females: 2.961 (2.348–3.393) long. Three lips present, equal in length. Single interlabium between subventral lips, much reduced in adults. Lateral interlabia absent. Four double papillae, two on dorsal lip, one on each subventral lip. Lateral amphid and single papilla on each subventral lip. Cuticle with distinct striations. Lateral alae from base of lips to tail. Deirids small, at level of excretory pore. Tail long, conical, pointed (Fig. 85 A). Phasmids in midregion of tail. Male gonad from slightly anterior of midpoint of larva to rectum. Testis thin-walled. Posterior portion of gonad with walls of low cuboidal cells. Spicule pouches extending dorsally and anteriorly from dorsal wall of rectum. Developing spicules narrow, not cuticularized (Fig. 85 A). Female gonad 20–25% of length of larva. Vagina slightly anterior to midpoint of larva (Fig. 85 B). Uterus dividing into two posteriorly directed branches, slightly posterior from vagina. Oviduct proximal to uterus, short. Ovaries straight, thin-walled, filled with large germinal cells. L3: males 1.682 (1.444–2.056) long; females 1.925 (1.690–2.248) long.

Lateral alae from anterior end to tail, widest in anterior third. Cuticle with fine transverse striations. Deirids small, at level of excretory pore. Tail conical, pointed. Phasmids in midregion of tail. Three rectal cells around anterior part of rectum. Sexes distinct. Vaginal primordium an ovoid mass of cuboidal cells, embedded in ventral body wall, near midpoint of larva. Two ovaries extending posteriorly from vagina. Gonad in male straight, elongate, ventral to intestine in posterior quarter of body. L2: body 0.899 (0.787–1.009) long. Anterior end bluntly rounded with 4 large papillae subdorsally and subventrally. Mouth opening approximately triangular in outline. Conical boring tooth at ventral apex of mouth opening. Lips absent. Lateral alae narrow. Cuticular striations not seen. Deirids small, at level of excretory pore which is slightly posterior to nerve ring. Preventriculus claviform. Ventriculus about as long as wide, with posteriorly directed ventricular appendix. Genital primordium ovoid, comprising four to eight cells. Tail conical, pointed.
