Brugia timori sp. n. from experimentally-infected Mongolian jirds (Meriones unguiculatus) is described. The adult male differs from other Brugia species, except Brugia malayi, in having a spicular ratio of 3 : 1; it differs from B. malayi in having greater numbers of subventral adanal papillae (up to 5 on each side) that are loosely spaced and irregularly positioned about the cloaca, a greater diameter of the capitulum of the left spicule, greater lengths of the proximal- and midsections of the left spicule, and a greater length of the proximal section of the right spicule. The adult female has an ovejector of greater length and width than that of B. malayi. Microfilariae in the blood of persons from whom the parasite lines of this study originated were typical of the Timor type, having a greater total body length than other Brugia spp., a length to width cephalic space ratio of about 3 : 1, and a sheath which did not stain when processed in the usual manner with Giemsa.
