Abstract
Four hundred and fifteen Anolis acutus from Sr. Croix, U.S. Virgin Isl ands were examined for helminths. Three nematodes, Ascarops st,. (larv ae), Parapharyngodon cubensis, and Spauligodon caymanensis, and 2 acan thocephalans, Centrorhynchus sp. and Oligacanthorhynchus sp. (cystacan ths), were found. The highest prevalence (47%) and mean intensity (21. 3) were recorded for S. caymanensis. Anolis acutus is a new host recor d for each of these helminth species.
