A new species of ascaridoid nematode, Baylisascaris tasmaniensis, is described from three marsupial carnivores of Tasmania, namely Sarcophilus harrisi, Dasyurus viverrinus, and Dasyurops maculatus. The new species is differentiated from other species in the genus Baylisascaris and the phylogenetic affinities within the genus are discussed in relation to the origin of the placental and marsupial carnivores.
