Abstract

The type host of the acanthocephalan Neoechinorhynchus schmidti from Tabasco, Mexico, was erroneously reported to be the red-eared slider, Trachemys scripta elegans, which does not occur in Tabasco. Examination of specimens from the turtle host series determined that the correct type host is the Tabasco slider, Trachemys venusta.
