Abstract

ABSTRACT: Two adult orange-striped ribbonsnakes, Thamnophis proximus proximus, were collected from northern Arkansas and examined for helminths. A single snake harbored 4 specimens of the pentastomid, Kiricephalus coarctatus. We document a new host as well as a new distributional record for the parasite. This is only the second time a species of pentastomid has been reported from the state in any host. A summary of ophidian hosts of K. coarctatus from the Western Hemisphere is included.

来自美国阿肯色州的Orange-Stripped Ribbonsake、Thamnophis proximus proximul（Serpentes:Colubridae）的粗脊基里亚目（五口目：细脊目），以及西半球蛇床亚目宿主摘要

摘要：从美国阿肯色州北部采集了两条橙色条纹的成年脊蛇，它们是近吻蟾蜍（Thamnophisproximusproximus），并对其进行了蠕虫检查。一条蛇身上有4个五口目的标本，即缩窄基里头蛇。我们记录了这种寄生虫的一个新宿主以及一个新的分布记录。这是第二次在任何宿主体内从该州报告一种五口虫。本文综述了来自西半球的宽脊灰蝶的寄主。

期刊介绍： Comparative Parasitology (continuing the Journal of the Helminthological Society of Washington in its 67th volume) focuses on parasitological research of a comparative nature, emphasizing taxonomy, systematics, ecology, biogeography, evolution, faunal survey, and biological inventory within a morphological and/or molecular context. The scope of Comparative Parasitology extends to all parasitic faunas, including helminths, protistans and arthropods.
