| Linguatula | A genus of endoparasitic bloodsucking arthropods (family Linguatulidae, class Pentastomida), commonly known as tongue worms; once thought to be degenerate Acarina, but now generally considered to be a small but distinctive early offshoot of the Arthropoda. Adult worms are found in lungs or air passages of various hosts (e.g., reptiles, birds, carnivores); young worms are found in a great variety of hosts, including humans, but chiefly in animals that serve as prey. Origin: L. Linguatulus, tongued (05 Mar 2000) |

| Linguatula rhinaria | A species most common in Europe, but also found in the United States, South America, and probably elsewhere; the adult is a whitish, soft, flattened, annulated worm equipped with hooks by which it attaches itself to the nasal mucosa of dogs and other canids; the larvae develop in the liver and lymph nodes of rodents, swine, cattle, and sometimes man and other primates. Synonym: Linguatula rhinaria. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Linguatula serrata | A species most common in Europe, but also found in the United States, South America, and probably elsewhere; the adult is a whitish, soft, flattened, annulated worm equipped with hooks by which it attaches itself to the nasal mucosa of dogs and other canids; the larvae develop in the liver and lymph nodes of rodents, swine, cattle, and sometimes man and other primates.

| Linguatulidae | One of the families of Pentastomida of medical interest, the other being the Porocephalidae. Linguatulidae have flattened bodies; adults inhabit the nasal cavities of various carnivores, such as the dog and cat, and larval forms are found in tissues of rodents, herbivores, and other animals; both larvae and adults have been reported from humans.

| linguatulina | <zoology> An order of wormlike, degraded, parasitic arachnids. They have two pairs of retractile hooks, near the mouth. Synonym: Pentastomida. The adults of some species inhabit the nostrils and nasal sinuses of dogs and other carnivores. The young, after being swallowed by sheep, rabbits, etc, find their way to the lungs and liver and become encysted. These, when eaten by carnivores, develop into the adult forms. Origin: NL, fr. L.
