Abstract
Thirty Gastrophryne olivacea from southern Arizona were examined for h elminths. Two species of nematodes, Aplectana incerta and Aplectana it zocanensis, were found. Both represent new host records. Aplectana itz ocanensis had the higher prevalence (70%) and greater mean intensity ( 13.0). In southern Arizona, A. incerta and A. itzocanensis also occur concurrently in other anurans.
