Forty-eight Tyrannus tyrannus (L.) and 35 T. verticalis Say from Delta Marsh, Manitoba, were examined for ectoparasites. Nine species of ectoparasites were found: five Mallophaga, three Acarina, and one Hippoboscidae. Five new host records for T. tyrannus and three for T. verticalis are reported. Fifty-two percent of T. tyrannus and 68% of T. verticalis were infested. Both prevalence and intensity of Mallophaga were significantly higher in T. verticalis (p < 0.05).

New Host Records

Forty-six Tyrannus tyrannus (L.) and 35 Tyrannus verticalis Say from Delta Marsh, Manitoba, were examined for helminths during the summer of 1977. Eighty-three percent of T. tyrannus and 94% of T. verticalis were infected with at least one species of helminth. Nine helminth species (four trematodes, one cestode, three nematodes, and one acanthocephalan) were found, eight from T. tyrannus and seven from T. verticalis. Six species were common to both hosts. Six new host records are reported for Tyrannus tyrannus and seven for T. verticalis. Tyrannus verticalis had a significantly greater total helminth burden than T. tyrannus did. Plagiorchis noblei was the most abundant parasite in each species, accounting for 69% of the helminths of T. tyrannus and 96% of those for T. verticalis (this difference is significant). Plagiorchis noblei was the only helminth found in juvenile hosts.This study further supports the following hypotheses: (1) that P. noblei is a northern parasite transmitted only in breeding habitats of its hosts; (2) that juvenile birds show greater intensities of infection than adults; and (3) that the number of parasite species is greater in adult birds than in juveniles.

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.

Mazocraeoides olentangiensis Sroufe, 1958 and mazocraeoides hargisi Price, 1961 are considered new synonyms for Mazocraeoides georgei.

In the present study, we report tick infestations on wild birds in plots of the Atlantic Forest reforested fragments with native species and plots reforested with Eucalyptus tereticornis in the municipality of Rio Claro, State of Sao Paulo, Brazil. A total of 256 birds were captured: 137 individuals of 33 species, in planted native forest; and 128 individuals of 37 species, in planted Eucalyptus tereticornis forest. Nymphs of two tick species were found on the birds: Amblyomma calcaratumand Amblyomma longirostre, the former was more abundant in the fragments reforested with Atlantic forest native species, and the latter in the fragment reforested with E. tereticornis. New host records were presented for A. calcaratum.

This study aimed to evaluate the infection rates of snakes by pentastomids in the semi-arid region of Brazil. Fifteen snakes (four Micrurus ibiboboca (Merrem, 1820) and eleven Philodryas nattereri Steindachner, 1870) were collected between January and April of 2005, in the municipality of Crato (07° 14' S and 39° 24' W), State of Ceará, Brazil. Laboratorial analysis of the respiratory tracts of the sampled snakes indicated differences in host infection rates: four individuals of P. nattereri (36.4%) were infected by Cephalobaena tetrapoda Heymons, 1922 (mean infection intensity 1.5 ± 0.28, 1-2) and three specimens (27.3%) by Raillietiella furcocerca (Diesing, 1863) (2.3 ± 1.32, 1-5). Only one individual of M. ibiboboca (25%) was infected by a non-identified species of Raillietiella sp. These are the first data on pentastomid infection in snakes in Northeastern Brazil and both snake species comprise new host records for the pentastomids. The results also indicate that the generalist parasites C. tetrapoda and R. furcocerca share their definitive hosts.

This study provides an update on the ectoparasites (ticks and leeches) associated with Rhinoclemmys annulata and provides new accounts on the ectoparasites associated with R. nasuta, R. melanosterna andKinosternon leucostomum from the Pacific coast of Colombia. The presence ofAmblyomma sabanerae on R. nasuta and R. melanosterna provided two new host records for the tick species. Also, the documentation ofA. sabanerae from the Department of Valle del Cauca represents a new department record for the species in Colombia. Placobdella ringueleti was identified fromR. nasuta and K. leucostomum, which represents a new host record for the leech species, as well as a significant extension of the known range.
