Filaria tuberculata von Linstow, 1877

was described from Delichon urbicum (L.) by von Linstow (1877) for nematodes described as ‘‘a true Filaria , but since Filaria attenuata from various species of the genus Corvus has already been described, the name cannot remain’’. This ambiguous statement cannot be accepted as justification for proposing a new species, since A. attenuata has been described from a host of the family Hirundinidae . Jögis (1971) considered F. tuberculata as a junior synonym of A. attenuata . The male of Acuaria tuberculata , as described by von Linstow (1877), was characterised by two dissimilar spicules (98 and 130 lm long) distinct from those of A. attenuata , as revealed in the present study.
