The intestines, body cavity, and liver of each lizard were examined for adult helminths and helminth larvae (such as cystacanths, pleurocercoids, and tetrathyridia) using a dissecting microscope. Stomachs from these specimens were unavailable for our examination; however, Jones (1987) reported helminths from stomachs of C. isolepis, L. longirostris, and P. minor from the Pianka Collection in the Western Australian Museum, which are listed in Table 2. Helminths were placed on a glass slide in a drop of undiluted glycerol for study under a compound microscope. Nematodes were identified from these preparations; selected cestodes were stained with hematoxylin and mounted in balsam for identification. Nematodes in vials of 70% ethanol, and permanent stained mounts of cestodes were deposited in the United States National Parasite Collection (USNPC), Beltsville, Maryland. One species of Cestoda, Oochoristica piankai Bursey, Goldberg, and Woolery, 1996 (USNPC 88548, 88550, 88555) and 8 species of Nematoda, Abbreviata anomala Jones, 1986 (USNPC 88559), Kreisiella chrysocampa Jones, 1985 (USNPC 88551, 88560), Kreisiella lesueurii Jones, 1986 (USNPC 88549, 88561), Maxvachonia brygooi Mawson, 1972 (USNPC 88552, 88556, 88562), Parapharyngodon fitzroyi Jones, 1992 (USNPC 88563), Skrjabinoptera goldmanae Mawson, 1970 (USNPC 88557, 88564), Skrjabinoptera gallardi (Johnston and Mawson,

(USNPC 88554, 88558, 88565) were also present. All of these helminths were found in the lumen of the intestines, with the exception of larval Abbreviata sp. which were found in cysts in the intestinal wall. No cystacanths, pleurocercoids, or tetrathyridia were found in the body cavity or attached to the viscera. Prevalences, mean intensity ± SD, and range are presented in Table 1. None of the helminths found in this study is host specific. Recorded helminths of agamid lizards from Australia are listed in Table 2. Of these, Pseudothamugadia physignathi Lopez-Neyra, 1956, Oswaldofilaria innisfailensis (Mackerras, 1962), Oswaldofilaria pflugfelderi (Frank, 1964) and Oswaldofilaria samfordensis Manzanell, 1982, all filarioids, have been found to infect a single host species and, surprisingly, the same host species, Physignathus lesueurii (Gray, 1831) (the eastern water dragon). Abbreviata anomala, Abbreviata pilbarensis Jones, 1986, Oswaldofilaria chlamydosauri (Breinl, 1913), 5. gallardi, Strongyluris paronai (Stossich, 1902), and Wanaristrongylus pogonae Jones, 1987 are known only from agamid hosts. The remaining helminths have been reported from agarnids as well as other lizard families: O. piankai from Gekkonidae; Abbreviata antarctica (Linstow, 1899), Scincidae, Varanidae; Abbreviata confusa (Johnston and Mawson, 1942), Varanidae, as well as several Host GOLDBERG ET AL.—RESEARCH NOTES 111 Lophognathus longirostris % x ± SD r 10* 1.0 10 1.0 Pogona minor % x ± SD r 12 2.0 ± 1.0 28 6.7 ± 5.6 20* 1.2 ± 0.5 1-3 1-13 1-2 snake species; Abbreviata tumidocapitis Jones, 1983, Gekkonidae, Varanidae; K. chrysocatnpa, Scincidae; K. lesueurii, Scincidae; M. brygooi, Scincidae, Varanidae; P. fitzroyi, Scincidae; Parapharyngodon kartana (Johnston and Mawson, 1941), Gekkonidae, Scincidae; Physalopteroides filicauda Jones, 1985, Gekkonidae, Pygopodidae, Scincidae, Varanidae; Pseudorictularia dipsarilis (Irwin-Smith, 1922), Scincidae; S. goldmanae, Gekkonidae, Scincidae, Varanidae; W. ctenoti, Gekkonidae, Scincidae, Varanidae. Physalopterid larvae are widely distributed in Australia and have been reported from agamid, gekkonid, scincid, and varanid lizards as well as several species of snakes (Jones, 1995b). This is the first report of larvae of Abbreviata sp. from C. isolepis and C. scutulatus; however, Jones (1995b) reported physalopteran larvae from C. isolepis. Currently, species of Physaloptera are not known to occur in Australian reptiles. Physaloptera gallardi Johnston and Mawson, 1942, from Pogona barbata (Cuvier, 1829) (the bearded dragon) was reassigned to Skrjabinoptera by Chabaud (1956), and Physaloptera bancrofti Irwin-Smith, 1922 from Phyllurus platurus (White, 1790) (the southern leaf-tailed gecko) was reassigned to Abbreviata by Schuh; (1927). Physalopterid larvae found in Australian lizards are most likely species of either Abbreviata or Skrjabinoptera. The data presented here suggest that Australian agamid lizards are infected by helminth generalists. Bush et al. (1997) presented a hier- Copyright © 2011, The Helminthological Society of Washington
