Spinicauda fisheri n. sp. from the intestine of Platymantis pelewensis collected in the Palau Islands, Republic of Belau, is described and illustrated. Spinicauda fisheri represents the 12th species assigned to the genus and the first from Oceanica. It is most similar to Spinicauda spinicauda in that the tail ends in a filament, but it has 19 pairs of caudal papillae as compared with 5 pairs in S. spinicauda. In addition to S. fisheri, 2 species of Cestoda, cysticercoids of Joyeuxiella sp. and tetrathyridia of Mesocestoides sp., 2 species of Nematoda, Oswaldocruzia bakeri and Physocephalus sp. (larvae in cysts), 1 species of Acanthocephala, Acanthocephalus bufonis, and 1 species of Pentastomida, nymphs of Kiricephalus pattoni were identified.
描述并图示了采自贝劳共和国帕劳群岛的佩莱纹蛙(Platymantis pelewensis)肠道内的费氏尾棘绦虫(Spinicauda fisheri n. sp.)。费氏尾棘绦虫是该属的第12个物种,也是大洋洲的首个该属物种。它与尾棘绦虫(Spinicauda spinicauda)最为相似,其尾部呈丝状,但费氏尾棘绦虫有19对尾乳突,而尾棘绦虫只有5对。除费氏尾棘绦虫外,还鉴定出2种绦虫,即乔伊尤绦虫(Joyeuxiella sp.)的似囊尾蚴和中殖孔绦虫(Mesocestoides sp.)的四盘尾蚴,2种线虫,即贝克奥斯塔德线虫(Oswaldocruzia bakeri)和泡首线虫属(Physocephalus sp.)(囊内幼虫),1种棘头虫,即蟾蜍棘头虫(Acanthocephalus bufonis),以及1种舌形虫,即帕氏基里舌形虫(Kiricephalus pattoni)的若虫。
