Abstract

Twenty-eight representatives of the scincid lizard Lobulia brongersmai from Papua New Guinea were examined for gastrointestinal helminths. One species of Digenea, Saurokoilophilia kinsellai, and two species of Nematoda, Parapharyngodon maplestoni and Skrjabinodon sheai, were found. Skrjabinodon sheai had the highest prevalence (18%) and the greatest number of helminths (n = 15), range = 1–6. Lobulia brongersmai is infected by generalist helminths that have been reported from other species. Three new host records are reported.
