AbstractNinety-seven cliff swallows, Petrocheilidon pyrrhonota, were examined from North-eastern Colorado. Five species of nematodes (Hadjelia pyrrhonotae sp. n., Acuaria sp., Microtetrameres inermis, Splendidofilaria sp., Diplotriaena sp.); four species of trematodes (Concinnum minor sp. n., Brachylecithum marinholutzi, Plagiorchis maculosus, Stomylotremagratiosus); and two species of acanthocephala.(Mediorhynchusgrandis, Mediorhynchus papillosus (juveniles)) were recovered. All eleven species of helminths represent new host records. Six new records (Hadjelia pyrrhonota, Microtetrameres inermis, Concinnum minor, Brachylecithum marinlwlutzi, Plagiorchis maculosus, Stomylotrema gratiosus) were established for Colorado. Five new records (Hadjelia pyrrhonota, Microtetrameres inermis, Concinnum minor, Brachylecithum marinlwlutzi were established for North America.

A cestode, Hymenolepis tualatinensis n. sp., is described from the pocket gopher, Thomomys bulbivorus (Richardson) (Rodentia: Geomyidae), from the Willamette Valley in Oregon. Helminths of four additional species were found. Trichuris fossor Hall, 1916, Ransomus rodentorum Hall, 1916, Heligmosomoides thomomyos Gardner and Jasmer, 1983, and Hymenolepis horrida (von Linstow, 1901), of which all but H. thomomyos represent new host records. A significant change in prevalence of the whipworm T. fossor in the population of T. bulbivorus from spring through summer was noted. Significant differences in prevalence of infection of helminths in pocket gophers collected from two different localities in the Willamette Valley were observed.

Four species of adult cestodes and one larval form were recovered from Rattus assimilis (Gould, 1858) from Queensland. Hymenolepis diminuta Rudolphi, 1819; and the cysticercus of Taenia taeniae-formis (Batsch, 1786) are new host records for Australia; the same infestations with Raillietina (Raillietina) celebensis (Janicki, 1902) have also been recorded by Baer and Sandars (1956). Two new species, viz:—Choanotaenia ratticola and Hymenolepis australiensis are described.The type specimens are lodged in the Queensland Museum, Brisbane. Cotype and other specimens studied are also lodged in the Queensland Museum and in the Institut de Zoologie, Université de Neuchâtel, Switzerland; the Department of Parasitology, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine and in the British Museum (Natural History).

Descriptions and illustrations are given for two new species of Myrsidea Waterston, 1915 from cardinals and tanagers from Costa Rica. They and their type hosts are: Myrsidea poliogasteri ex Caryothraustes poliogaster (Cardinalidae) and M. larvatae ex Tangara larvata (Thraupidae). The male of Myrsidea mitrospingi is also described. New host records are Sporophila corvina for Ricinus diffusus; Mitrospingus cassinii for Menacanthus eurysternus; Tachyphonus luctuosus for Myrsidea spizae; Euphonia gouldi for Myrsidea violaceae; and Tachyphonus delattrii for Machaerilaemus laticorpus. Records of two other louse species of the genus Myrsidea from tanagers are also discussed. This paper includes the first record of Myrsidea from members of the passerine family Cardinalidae, and a number of additional new host-louse associations.

Two new species of Eimeria and one of Isospora are described from the collared pika, Ochotona collaris, collected in the Yukon Territory, Canada. Oocysts of E. circumborealis n. sp. are ellipsoid to subspherical and measure 21–34 by 15–23 (26.6 by 20.2); sporocysts are ovoid, measuring 10–16 by 6–9 (13.4 by 8.2). A micropyle, diffuse polar granules, Stieda body, and sporocyst residua are present, Övoid oocysts of E. klondikensis n, sp. are 32–38 by 23–26(35.2 by 24,6); sporocysts are ovoid, measuring 14–16 by 8–10 (15.5 by 9.2). A prominent micropyle, polar granule, Stieda body, and sporocyst residua are present. Oocysts of I. yukonensis n. sp. are elongate ellipsoid, measuring 48–57 by 21–27 (52.4 by 23.3); sporocysts are ovoid measuring 26–29 by 12–14 (27.6 by 12.3). A Stieda body, substiedal body, and sporocyst residua are present. In addition, this is the first record of E. barretti, E. banffensis, E. calentinei, E. princepsis, and I. marquardti from O. collaris; and of E. circumborealis, E. calentinei, E. banffensis, E. klondikensis, E. princepsis, and E. worleyi from O. hyperborea yesoensis. All of the above species except I. yukonensis and E. worleyi were also found in O. princeps from southwestern Alberta; E. circumborealis and E. klondikensis are new host records for this pika.

AbstractA key is provided to the ten genera of Anomaloninae occurring in sub-Saharan Africa. The numbers of African species in the various genera are discussed with particular reference to those having potential economic importance as parasites of Lepidoptera. Parania Morley is recorded for the first time from Africa, and two new species P. prima sp. n. and P. secunda sp. n. are described. A number of new host records are given.

Studies on obligatory, ectoparasitic mites of the family Syringophilidae associated with birds in Germany were scarce and scattered over the time. This paper summarizes current knowledge of German syringophilid fauna. We present new host and locality records and describe two new species: Niglarobia lapponica sp. nov. and Charadriineopicobia ristowi sp. nov. from the quill feathers of bar-tailed godwit Limosa lapponica (Linnaeus) (Scolopacidae).

Eighty-one H. chrysogaster from nineteen localities in Victoria and South Australia were examined for helminths. One acanthocephalan Corynosoma stanleyi: and one cestode, Hymenolepis diminuta, were found. Of the trematodes six were identified to species: Echinoparyphium hydromyos, Fibricola minor, F. intermedius, Microphaflus minutus, Maritrema oocysta and Plagiorchis jaenschi; two were placed in the families Heterophyidae, and Psilostomidae, both new locality records; and two new species Notocotylus sp. nov. and Paramonostomum sp. nov. were found. There were six nematode species: Synhimantus australiensis, Antechiniella suffodiax, Antechiniella sp., Woolleya hydromyos as well as Parastrongyloides sp. and a heteroxynematid both new host records. H. diminuta was the most prevalent helminth, with M. minutus and S. australiensis the most prevalent trematode and nematode respectively. A checklist of helminths from H. chrysogaster is given and comparisons between infections of Tasmanian, Victorian and South Australian hosts are made. Thirty-three of these water rats, trapped live in Victoria, were also examined for protozoa. Klossiella hydromyos, Toxoplasma gondii and Sarcocystis sp. were found. Twenty of the Victorian hosts were examined for ectoparasites. Three mites; Paraspeleognathopsis derricki, Murichirus parahydromys, and Radfordia sp.; one tick, Zxodes tasmani; one louse, Hoplopleura bidentata; and three flea species, Acanthopsylla rothschildi and Echidnophaga spp. were found.

A new species, Glyptapanteles hypermnestrae Gupta and Pereira, is described from Maharashtra, India, and comparedwith closely allied species. This new species was bred from parasitized larvae of Elymnias hypermnestra (Linnaeus) (Lep-idoptera: Nymphalidae). In addition to this, two hymenopteran parasitoids, Apanteles folia Nixon (Braconidae: Microgas-trinae) and Brachymeria indica (Krausse) (Chalcididae), are for first time reported parasitizing larvae of Arhopalaamantes (Hewitson) (Lepidoptera: Lycaenidae) and pupae of Pareronia valeria (Cramer) (Lepidoptera: Pieridae) respectively.
