“…Currently, P. amarali described based on specimens also obtained from L. miliaris is a junior synonymous of P. cesarpintoi (Moravec, 1986b). However, one of the characteristics used by Freitas and Lent (1934b) to consider these two species as distinct was the vulva with a notable anterior prominence, which was an easily viewable feature in our specimens. Therefore, additional studies are necessary, to better characterize this possible intraspecifi c variation.…”

SummaryIn order to have better knowledge of the parasites of the common water snake Liophis miliaris (Linnaeus, 1758), a checklist of its helminths was produced based on a review of the literature and new records of worms identifi ed during the course of a parasitological survey combining data from stool analysis (n = 22) and necropsies (n = 8) of specimens of this snake from Muriaé, state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. Thirty-one helminth species (two acanthocephalans, one cestode, 11 nematodes and 17 trematodes) were so far reported in L. miliaris in the Neotropical region, already including the records in the present study of Acanthorhabdias acanthorhabdias Pereira, 1927, Paracapillaria (Ophidiocapillaria) cesarpintoi (Freitas & Lent, 1934) and Strongyloides ophidiae Pereira, 1929. Taxonomic comments on these nematode species are given, and areas of occurrence of A. acanthorhabdias and P. cesarpintoi are expanded in southeastern Brazil. In addition, factors related to parasite richness of L. miliaris, which is likely related to its aquatic habits, are discussed.

ABSTRACf. BRAZILlAN NEMATODES. PART 11I: NEMATODES OF REPTILES. A survey af ncmatode species parasizing Brazilian reptiles is presented, with data enough to provide lheir spccific idcntification. The first scclion rcfcrs to the catalogation af lhe species, related to 127 superfamilics, 23 families, S5 genera and 121 spedes lha! are figurcd and includcd in measurement tables. The second sc:clion is concemed to the catalogue af host reptiles, with 16 families, and 90 species and their respective parasite nematodes. The identification ofthese hclminths is achieved bymeans ofl.:eys to lhe superfamilies, families and genera. Specific determinalion is induced through lhe figures and tables as above mentioned.
