Citellina Explained

Citellina is a genus of nematodes within the Oxyuridae family. Species of this genus typically parasitise marmots and ground squirrels of holarctic distribution.[1] It was initially defined by Prendel in 1928, with the type species Citellina dispar[2]

Citellina triradiata has been recovered from the Spotted Ground Squirrel (Xerospermophilus spilosoma),[3] and Citellina undulata is described from the Long-tailed Ground Squirrel (Urocitellus undulatus).[1]
