Abstract
Two new species of the genus Capillaria (Nematoda: Capillariidae) are described from the intestine of marine fishes from the Pacific coast of Canada. Capillaria freemani sp.nov. from the skates Raja rhina (type host), R. kincaidi, and R. stellulata (family Rajidae) is characterized by the presence of a pseudobursa provided with a tail projection and lateral rays in the male, spiny spicular sheath, long spicule (0.65–0.98 mm), and large body size (up to 25.76 mm long in the male and 38.13 mm in the female). Capillaria parophrysi sp.nov. from the flatfish Parophrys vetulus (family Pleuronectidae) is characterized mainly by the small body size (male up to 5.74 mm in length and female up to 10.42 mm), smooth spicular sheath without spines, the length of spicule (0.28–0.37 mm), and by the presence of two lateral rays and absence of a tail projection in the pseudobursa of the male.
