Abstract
Two populations of Plethodon cinereus were examined for gastrointestin al helminths. The Pennsylvania population harbored 2 species, the cest ode Cylindrotaenia idahoensis and the nematode Batracholandros magnavu lvaris, and the Virginia population harbored 2 species, the trematode Brachycoelium obesum and the nematode Cosmocercoides variabilis. The p resence of Cylindrotaenia idahoensis and Cosmocercoides variabilis in Plethodon cinereus establishes new host records. Pennsylvania is a new locality record for Batracholandros magnavulvaris and Cylindrotaenia idahoensis.
