Oswaldocruzia nicaraguensis n. sp. (Strongylida: Molineidae) from the intestines of Ameiva festiva (Sauria: Teiidae) is described and illustrated. Oswaldocruzia nicaraguensis represents the 78th species assigned to the genus and is most similar to the Caribbean species of the genus by possessing spicules in which each of the 3 divisions terminates in numerous fine points. Of the 8 species assigned to this group, O. nicaraguensis is most similar to Oswaldocruzia moraveci; of the 8 species, only O. moraveci and O. nicaraguensis possess a type II bursa and lack cervical alae. It is separated from O. moraveci by the position of the tips of ribs 5-6; close together in O. nicaraguensis, well separated in O. moraveci.
描述并图示了来自尼加拉瓜鞭尾蜥(蜥蜴目:鞭尾蜥科)肠道的尼加拉瓜奥斯瓦尔多线虫新种(圆线目:莫利线虫科)。尼加拉瓜奥斯瓦尔多线虫是该属的第78个物种,与该属的加勒比物种最为相似,其交合刺的三个分支末端均有许多细尖。在归入该类群的8个物种中,尼加拉瓜奥斯瓦尔多线虫与莫拉韦克奥斯瓦尔多线虫最为相似;在这8个物种中,只有莫拉韦克奥斯瓦尔多线虫和尼加拉瓜奥斯瓦尔多线虫具有II型囊,且无颈翼。它与莫拉韦克奥斯瓦尔多线虫的区别在于第5 - 6肋尖端的位置;在尼加拉瓜奥斯瓦尔多线虫中靠近,在莫拉韦克奥斯瓦尔多线虫中相距较远。
