Abstract
Spauligodon goldbergi sp. n. (Nematoda: Pharyngodonidae), a new oxyuri d nematode, from the large intestine of Sonora semiannulata is describ ed and illustrated. Seven of 48 (15%) adult specimens of Sonora semian nulata collected from Texas harbored a total of 181 specimens of Spaul igodon goldbprgi sp. n.; mean intensity was 25.9 +/- 2.9, range was 15 -34. Spauligodon goldbergi sp. n. is distinguished from all other Near ctic species in that the female possesses a pointed tail. This is the first report of a species of Spauligodon from a snake. The cestode Ooc horistica parvula and cosmocercoid nematodes Aplectana sp. are also re ported.
