Abstract

A total of 114 specimens representing 2 species of gekkonid lizards, Gehyra mutilata and Hemidactylus frenatus, 2 species of scincid lizards, Mabuya cumingi and Mabuya multifasciata, and 1 species of snake, Ramphotyphlops braminus, from the Philippine Islands were examined for metazoan endoparasites. Two species of Cestoda, Oochoristica excelsa and Oochoristica javaensis, 3 species of Digenea, Mesocoelium monas, Plagiorchis taiwanensis and Postorchigenes ovatus, 3 species of Nematoda, Kalicephalus viperae chunkingensis, Pharyngodon oceanicus and Spauligodon hemidactylus, and 1 species of Pentastomida, Raillietiella frenatus, were found. Four new host records and 2 new locality records are reported.
