Neoterranova is a genus of parasitic nematodes that have life cycles involving sharks and reptiles. [1] The genus was created in 2020 to accommodate species which were previously included in Terranova Leiper & Atkinson, 1914 [2] a taxon considered to be invalid. [1]
The name Neoterranova is composed of Terranova (the name of a nematode genus) and the prefix Neo- (= new). [1] The gender is feminine.
The type-species is N. scoliodontis(Baylis, 1931) Moravec & Justine, 2020. It is a parasite of the stomach and intestine of the Tiger shark Galeocerdo cuvier , first described in 1931. [3] [4] [1]
Other species are listed in the taxobox.
The Anisakidae are a family of intestinal nematodes (roundworms). The larvae of these worms can cause anisakiasis when ingested by humans, in raw or insufficiently cooked fish.
Paracapillaria is a genus of parasitic nematodes. Species of the genus Paracapillaria parasitise fishes and amphibians, reptiles (snakes), and a single species, Paracapillaria philippinensis(Chitwood, Velasquez & Salazar, 1968), is known from birds and mammals including man.
Huffmanela is a genus of parasitic nematodes, belonging to the family Trichosomoididae.

Philometra fasciati is a species of parasitic nematode of fishes, first found off New Caledonia in the South Pacific, in the gonads Epinephelus fasciatus. This species is characterized mainly by: length of spicules and length and structure of its gubernaculum; structure of male caudal end; body size; location in host and types of hosts.
Cucullanus is a genus of parasitic nematodes. The genus includes more than 100 species.
Rasheedia is a genus of nematodes in the order Spirurida. The nematode genus BulbocephalusRasheed, 1966 was found to be a homonym of BulbocephalusWatson, 1916 and, therefore, a new name, Rasheedia n. nom., was proposed in 2018 to substitute it.
Rasheedia heptacanthi is a parasitic nematode in the genus Rasheedia.
Rasheedia novaecaledoniensis is a parasitic nematode in the genus Rasheedia.
Cucullanus gymnothoracis is a species of parasitic nematodes. It is an endoparasite of the lipspot moray Gymnothorax chilospilus. The species has been described in 2018 by František Moravec & Jean-Lou Justine from material collected off New Caledonia in the South Pacific Ocean.
Cucullanus epinepheli is a species of parasitic nematodes. It is an endoparasite of the brown spotted reef cod Epinephelus chlorostigma. The species has been described in 2018 by František Moravec & Jean-Lou Justine from material collected off New Caledonia in the South Pacific Ocean.
Cystidicolidae is a family of spirurian nematodes. It was created by Skrjabin in 1946. All members of the family are parasites of fish.
Ascarophis is a genus of parasitic nematodes, belonging to the family Cystidicolidae. Species of Ascarophis are parasitic as adults in the gastrointestinal tract of marine and estuarine fishes.
Ascarophisnema is a genus of parasitic nematodes, belonging to the family Cystidicolidae. Species of Ascarophisnema are parasitic as adults in the gastrointestinal tract of fish. According to the World Register of Marine Species, the genus currently (2019) includes a single species, Ascarophisnema tridentatum.
Terranova is a genus of parasitic nematodes. Species from this genus are known to parasitise sharks, rays, sawfishes, teleosts and crocodilians.
