R. Coggins, University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee, personal communication). Oddly enough, no Rhabdias were found in A. maculaturn collected by Bolek and Coggins (1998) from the same area. This information suggests that R. ambystomae sp. n. may also parasitize P. cinereus in northern Wisconsin but cannot reach maturity in this lungless amphibian. Further examinations will be necessary for confirmation. Other authors identified lung nematodes collected from salamanders in Wisconsin and Michigan as R. ranae (Coggins and Sajdak, 1982; Muzzall and Schinderle, 1992). This species has been recorded in a number of North American anurans, most of which belong to the family Ranidae (Baker, 1978; Yoder and Coggins, 1996; Bursey and DeWolf, 1998). In our opinion, the determination of the material from salamanders as R. ranae is questionable because of the high level of host specificity demonstrated by most representatives of Rhabdias; members of this genus have never been found to parasitize hosts from more than a single order (Rausch et al., 1984). Similarly, the report by Goldberg et al. (1998) of a frog parasite, Rhabdias joaquinensis Ingles, 1935, from salamanders in California may also represent a misidentification and is in need of confirmation. Rhabdias ambystomae sp. n. is the first species of this genus described from North American salamanders. The rich salamander fauna of North America and the strict specificity of rhabdiasids to their hosts indicate that further studies of material from the field or museum collections may reveal the presence of more species of Rhabdias unique to the salamanders of the New World. Acknowledgments We thank Dr. Gennadiy Atrashkevich, who kindly provided several specimens of 5. keyserlingii for our investigation, and Dr. Hideo Hasegawa for the loan of R. tokyoensis. We are grateful to Dr. Robert Wise for assistance with SEM. Collection of amphibians in Wisconsin was conducted under a permit provided by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. This research was supported by a grant from the Vander Putten International Fund of the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh.
