As part of a study on the helminth parasites of South African lizards several species of saurians were collected from localities in the North West Province, the Northern Province, Mpumalanga Province and Gauteng Province. Spauligodon blydeensis (Hering-Hagenbeck, 2001) from the Cape thick-toed gecko, Pachydactylus capensis, Spauligodon molpoensis (Hering-Hagenbeck, 2001) from Wahlberg's velvet gecko, Homopholis wahibergii, Parapharyngodon margaritiferi, Hering-Hagenbeck, 2001 from the skink, Mabuya margaritifer, Parapharyngodon gerrhosauri, Hering-Hagenbeck, 2001 from the plated lizard, Gerrhosaurus flavigularis and Skrjabinodon mabuyae (Sandground, 1936) Inglis, 1968 from the skinks Mabuya punctatissima, Mabuya spilogaster and Mabuya varia are redescribed. The different Spauligodon spp. in the subcontnent may be separated on the presence or absence of spicules in the males, the presence or absence of spines on the tail of both the males and females, as well as on the size and shape of the eggs, and the configuration of the polar caps. The Parapharyngodon spp. are distinguished mainly by the morphological characters of the males, such as the width of the caudal alae and the size of the pre- and adanal papillae. Female Parapharyngodon spp. closely resemble each other and some could not be identified to the species level since males were absent. Spinose larvae, together with adult Parapharyngodon spp. were recovered from Mabuya margaritifer. All Parapharyngodon spp. larvae described to date are spinose and since the larvae in this study were collected together with adult Parapharyngodon spp., we consider them to belong to the same genus. Skrjabinodon mabuyae differs from the closely related Skrjabinodon mabuiensis in the presence of a spicule in the male and lateral alae in the female. The former nematode is described for the first time from skinks in South Africa.
作为一项关于南非蜥蜴蠕虫寄生虫研究的一部分，从西北省、北方省、姆普马兰加省和豪登省的一些地点收集了几种蜥蜴。重新描述了来自开普厚趾壁虎（Pachydactylus capensis）的布莱德温泉线虫（Spauligodon blydeensis，赫林 - 哈根贝克，2001年）、来自瓦尔伯格柔壁虎（Homopholis wahibergii）的莫尔波温泉线虫（Spauligodon molpoensis，赫林 - 哈根贝克，2001年）、来自玛格丽特滑蜥（Mabuya margaritifer）的珍珠副咽线虫（Parapharyngodon margaritiferi，赫林 - 哈根贝克，2001年）、来自黄喉板蜥（Gerrhosaurus flavigularis）的杰氏副咽线虫（Parapharyngodon gerrhosauri，赫林 - 哈根贝克，2001年）以及来自斑点滑蜥（Mabuya punctatissima）、斑纹滑蜥（Mabuya spilogaster）和变色滑蜥（Mabuya varia）的马布亚斯克里亚宾线虫（Skrjabinodon mabuyae，桑德格伦，1936年；英格利斯，1968年）。非洲大陆不同的温泉线虫属物种可以根据雄虫是否有交合刺、雌雄虫尾部是否有刺以及虫卵的大小和形状以及极帽的形态来区分。副咽线虫属主要通过雄虫的形态特征来区分，如尾翼的宽度以及肛门前和肛门旁乳突的大小。副咽线虫属的雌虫彼此非常相似，由于缺少雄虫，一些无法鉴定到种的水平。从玛格丽特滑蜥中发现了带刺幼虫以及成年副咽线虫属。迄今为止描述的所有副咽线虫属幼虫都有刺，并且由于本研究中的幼虫是与成年副咽线虫属一起收集的，我们认为它们属于同一属。马布亚斯克里亚宾线虫与近缘的马布伊恩斯克里亚宾线虫的区别在于雄虫有交合刺，雌虫有侧翼。前者线虫是首次从南非的滑蜥中描述。
