Five Falcaustra species are reported from southern Ontario: F. inglisi (Anderson, 1964) Baker, 1980 from Rana catesbeiana and R. clamitans (new host record) of Algonquin Park; F. chelydrae Harwood, 1932 and F. wardi (Mackin, 1936) from Chelydra serpentina of Guelph; F. affinis (Leidy, 1856) from Chrysemys picta marginata (new host record) of Guelph; and F. catesbeianae Walton, 1929 from Rana catesbeiana of Long Point, Ontario. The last four species have not previously been reported in Canada. They are redescribed based on specimens from Ontario and museum specimens from North America. Examination of type specimens of Spironoura hylae Reiber, Byrd &Parker, 1940 and Spironoura spiculata Reiber, Byrd &Parker, 1940 revealed that they are synonymous with F. affinis. Type specimens of Falcaustra longespiculata Walton, 1927 from Terrapene Carolina of North America are shown to be lost. This species, which may be synonymous with F. affinis, is designated a species inquirenda.

Melanitta Perspicillata

Two surf scoters (Melanitta perspicillata L.) from near Juneau, Alaska, were examined; a total of 22 Tristriata anatis Belopolskaia, 1953, were removed from the ceca and large intestine. This is the second reported discovery of T. anatis, the first in North America, and a new host record. The species description is expanded. Morphology and the influence of methods on interpretation of structures are discussed.

Dirofilaria scapiceps (Leidy, 1886) was found in 62% of 404 Lepus americanus, 27% of 89 Sylvilagus floridanus, 13% of 31 Orytolagus cuniculus (domestic), 4% of 26 L. capensis, and none of 15 L. timidus, 2 L. californicus, and 50 L. townsendii collected in various regions of North America. Dirofilaria scapiceps in L. capensis is a new host record. The two species of Dirofilaria, D. scapiceps and D. uniformis Price, 1957, known from lagomorphs are redescribed. Dirofilaria scapiceps occurs predominantly in connective tissue surrounding tendons in the ankle region and rarely in intermuscular fascia near the knee joint of the hind leg; D. uniformis occurs in subcutaneous tissues of the trunk. Both D. scapiceps and D. uniformis are known only from lagomorphs in North America, D. scapiceps from L. americanus, L. capensis, S. floridanus, S. palustris and O. cuniculus and D. uniformis from S. floridanus, S. palustris and O. cuniculus. Dirofilaria scapiceps is present in lagomorphs in Alaska, Canada, eastern United States and Wyoming whereas D. uniformis is known only from lagomorphs in southeastern and south central United States. Dirofilaria uniformis may have evolved, through paedomorphosis, from D. scapiceps.

Species Inquirenda

Eulimdana lari (Yamaguti, 1935) n. comb. (Nematoda: Filarioidea) was found in 1 of 26 Phalaropus lobatus (L.) and 3 of 9 P. tricolor (Vieillot) collected in Canada near Deer Island, New Brunswick, and Delta, Manitoba, respectively. This is the first report of the parasite in the New World and extends the distribution of the parasite across the Holarctic. Eulimdana lari is now known from 17 species of Charadriiformes, including P. tricolor which is a new host record. It is suggested that E. lari is a parasite of shorebird communities. Eulimdana lari is redescribed and a taxonomic review of Eulimdana Founikoff, 1934 is provided, including an amended generic diagnosis and an annotated list of the five species. Heimnema Chabaud, Brygoo, and Richard, 1964 is placed in synonymy with Eulimdana. In addition to E. lari (Yamaguti, 1935) n. comb., the following changes are made: E. micropenis (Travassos, 1926) n. comb. and E. heimi (Chabaud, Brygoo, and Richard, 1964) n. comb. Eulimdana mazzantii (Railliet, 1893) Neveu-Lemaire, 1936, is considered a species inquirenda. It is pointed out that the type species, E. clava (Wedl, 1856) Founikoff, 1934 has a worldwide distribution in pigeons.

New Host Record

A novel species, Micropeltis goniothalamicola and a new record Scolecopeltidium menglaense were collected from Mae Fah Luang Botanical Gardens, Thailand. Our new taxon is different from other species in Micropeltis in having relatively smaller ascomata, 6–8-spored asci and 4–5-septate ascospores covering with mucilaginous sheath. Our new record, S. menglaense is the first host recorded from Jasmine grandiflorum (Oleaceae). Morphological comparison coupled with phylogenetic analysis of combined LSU and ITS sequence data provide evidence for the new species and new host record.

Rhipidocotyle pentagonum (Ozaki, 1924) is reported for the first time in South America parasitizing Auxis thazard and in a new host Katsuwonus pelamis. Tergestia laticollis (Rudolphi, 1819) is reported for the first time in South America and in Thunnus albacares, representing a new host record. Copiatestes filiferus (Leuckart, in Sars, 1885) is recorded for the first time in Brazil and in Thunnus albacares, another new host record. Tetrochetus coryphaenae (Yamaguti, 1934) is presented for the first time in Brazil parasitizing Thunnus albacares.
