Pharyngodonidae (Oxyuroidea; Nematoda) of Agama yemenensis in Saudi Arabia: hypothesis on the origin of pharyngodonids of herbivorous reptiles

Description of Thelandros Aegypti (Nematoda: Pharyngodonidae) From the Egyptian Spiny−tailed Lizard, Uromastyx Aegyptia (Squamata: Agamidae) in Egypt

“…T. agama Adamson and Nasher (1984a) differed from the species recorded in the present study in the absence of lips; caudal appendages and host locality. T. masaae Adamson and Nasher (1984a) differs from the present species in the presence of a long tubular extension supporting the vulva, the shape of female tail and the shape of the anterior anal lip in male.…”

“…Thelandros petterae Adamson and Nasher (1984a) differed from the present species in the flask shaped anal peduncles in males and the prevular swelling in females. T. agama Adamson and Nasher (1984a) differed from the species recorded in the present study in the absence of lips; caudal appendages and host locality.…”

A contribution to the nematode fauna of two agamid lizards from Afghanistan

“…In L . nuristanica , we found one Abbreviata achari ( Mirza, 1935 ) (family Physalopteridae), two Thelandros masaae Adamson and Nasher, 1984 (family Pharyngodonidae) and six Thelandros taylori ( Chatterji, 1935 ) . Abbreviata achari , was originally described from Calotes versicolor (Daudin, 1802) collected in India ( Mirza, 1935 ), and is also known from Paralaudakia caucasica and Trapelus agilis (Olivier, 1807) from Pakistan ( Goldberg et al, 2003 ).…”

Thelandros masaae was originally described from Acanthocercus yemenensis (Klausewitz, 1954) of Saudi Arabia ( Adamson & Nasher, 1984 ) and is also known from Acanthodactylus cantoris Günther, 1864 and Laudakia nupta from Pakistan ( Goldberg et al, 2003 ). Thelandros taylori was originally described from Saara hardwickii (Gray, 1827) collected in India and Afghanistan ( Chatterji, 1935 ) and has also been reported from Laudakia nupta (De Filippi, 1843) from Pakistan ( Goldberg et al, 2003 ), Laudakia tuberculata (Gray, 1827) from India, Turkmenistan and Afghanistan ( Goldberg et al, 2003 ), Laudakia stellio (Linnaeus, 1758) from Turkey ( Yildirimhan et al, 2006 ), and Paralaudakia himalayana (Steindachner, 1867) from Turkmenistan ( Baker, 1987 ).…”

“…This collection was subsequently provided to the Harold W. Manter Parasitology Laboratory (HWML), The University of Nebraska, Lincoln, Nebraska, USA. Identifications of nematodes made utilizing Anderson et al (2009) , Gibbons (2010) and comparisons to the original descriptions in Mirza (1935) , Chatterji (1935) , Adamson and Nasher (1984) .…”
