In the present study seven specimens of <jats:italic>Micipsella numidica<\/jats:italic> (Seurat, 1917), collected from the hare <jats:italic>Lepus europaeus<\/jats:italic> in Italy, were characterized genetically by molecular amplification of the mitochondrial genes (12S rDNA; <jats:italic>cox1<\/jats:italic>) and the 5S rDNA gene spacer region. Phylogenetic trees inferred using available sequences from filariae and those identified in this study evidenced a close relationship between <jats:italic>M. numidica<\/jats:italic> and Splendidofilariinae of other mammals and reptiles (<jats:italic>Rumenfilaria andersoni<\/jats:italic> and <jats:italic>Madathamugadia hiepei).<\/jats:italic> The present findings, apart from adding new data about the hosts in Italy, support the taxonomic position of <jats:italic>M. numidica<\/jats:italic> and highlight the substantial biological and molecular differences existing between Splendidofilariinae and other Onchocercidae. The study also contributes to our knowledge of the molecular\/genetic diagnosis of filarial parasites of veterinary and medical concern in any vertebrate or invertebrate
