Forty-four Kiricephalus pattoni (Stephens, 1908) nymphs were recorded as subcutaneous lumps in 2 lizard and 2 snake species, collected from the wild in southwestern Taiwan. The number of nymphs collected from under the epidermis of each animal ranged in the snakes from 1 to 22, whereas in lizards it ranged from 1 to 6. The lizard Plestiodon elegans represents a new host record for K. pattoni.
