  abstract = {{A} pathogenic {A}sian nematode species of {C}amallanus, {C}. cotti {F}ujita, 1927, was found in {N}ew {C}aledonia, {S}outh {P}acific, for the first time; it was recorded from two native fishes, {A}waous guamensis ({V}alenciennes) ({G}obiidae) (prevalence 5 1 %, intensity 1-25) and {K}uhlia marginata ({C}uvier) ({K}uhliidae) (a single specimen found), of the {L}a {F}oa {R}iver, about 100 kin north of {N}oumea; the latter represents a new host record. {M}orphological data on {C}. cotti based on {N}ew {C}aledonian specimens and those previously collected from aquarium-kept {M}isgurnus anguillicaudatus ({C}antor) in {C}anada have been provided. {T}he {SEM} examination of {C}. cotti, applied for the first time in this species, made it possible to study some of its morphological details; first-stage larvae from the female's uterus were found to possess several digit-like processes on the tail tip, not previously reported for any species of the {C}amallanidae. {C}amallanus moraveci {P}etter, {C}assone et {F}rance, 1974 is considered a junior synonym of {C}. coni. {A} list of hitherto recorded hosts of {C}. cotti is provided. {C}amallanus cotti is assumed to be introduced into {N}ew {C}aledonia along with the introduction of the exotic poeciliid fishes, which are known to be among the most common hosts of {C}. cotti in aquarium cultures worldwide.},
