Abstract

The digestive tracts of 8 Sceloporus angustus, an island endemic of Baja California Sur, Mexico, were investigated for endoparasites. Lizards came from Santa Cruz Island. Five species of Nematoda were found: Parapharyngodon grismeri, Strongyluris similis, Thubunaea iguanae, Acuariidae gen. sp. (larvae in cysts), and a Physaloptera sp. (3rd stage larvae). These nematodes also occur on the mainland.
