Abstract
Oxyspirura turcottei n.sp. from beneath the nictitating membrane of Meleagris gallopavo silvestris of West Virginia is distinguished from other species of the subgenus Oxyspirura (undivided buccal capsule) by its size (males 9.8–13.8 mm long; females 9.6–17.7 mm long), the presence and morphology of the gubernaculum, the presence of three pairs of preanal papillae, no adanal papillae and three pairs of postanal papillae in most specimens, and by its long right and left spicules (215–245 μm and 495–615 μm, respectively).
