Syphacia caudibandata was found in the gut of the common hare Lepus capensis (Linn.) in Karachi, Pakistan. The new species is characterized by having a typical caudal region provided with transverse band and bead like structures placed at well-proportioned spaces in the females and one or two cuticular mamelons and relatively short spicules in males. Scanning micrographs of the cuticle show a typical cuticular structure over the mid dorsal body surface. This is the first time that the genus Syphacia has been found in the host, Lepus capensis, in Pakistan.
