Aplectana samarensis sp. nov. (Ascaridida, Cosmocercidae) from the intestines of Limnonectes magnus (Anura, Dicroglossidae) is described and illustrated. Aplectana samarensis sp. nov. represents the 53rd species assigned to the genus and the 6th species reported from the Oriental region. It is easily separated from the 5 species previously reported from the region by the presence of a gubernaculum and the distribution pattern of male caudal papillae: A. macintoshii has an irregular pattern, no precloacal papillae in rows; both A. akhrami and A. dubrajpuri lack a gubernaculum; A. duttaphryni has 3 pairs of precloacal papillae forming 2 rows; A. ranae has 7 pairs of precloacal papillae forming 2 rows; A. samarensis sp. nov. has 4 pairs of precloacal papillae in 2 rows. In addition to the new species, individuals of Falcaustra dubia and Pseudoacanthocephalus bufonis as well as cestode plerocercoids were also found.
描述并图示了采自大绿臭蛙（无尾目，叉舌蛙科）肠道的新物种萨马阿普莱线虫（蛔目，科斯莫线虫科）。萨马阿普莱线虫是该属的第53个物种，也是东洋区报道的第6个物种。它通过具有引带和雄性尾乳突的分布模式，很容易与该地区先前报道的5个物种区分开来：麦金托什阿普莱线虫具有不规则模式，泄殖腔前乳突不成排；阿克拉姆阿普莱线虫和杜布拉伊布尔阿普莱线虫都没有引带；达塔弗里尼阿普莱线虫有3对泄殖腔前乳突形成2排；蛙阿普莱线虫有7对泄殖腔前乳突形成2排；新物种萨马阿普莱线虫有4对泄殖腔前乳突形成2排。除了新物种外，还发现了可疑法尔考斯特线虫和蟾蜍伪棘头虫的个体以及绦虫的裂头蚴。
