Spauligodon gehyrae n. sp. (Nematoda: Pharyngodonidae), a new oxyurid nematode, discovered in the large intestine of the gecko Gehyra oceanica is described and illustrated. Nine of 11 adult female specimens of G. oceanica collected on Guam, Mariana Islands, Micronesia, harbored a total of 480 specimens of S. gehyrae; prevalence of infection was 82% (mean intensity 53, range 6-179). Spauligodon gehyrae represents the 33rd species to be described for this genus and is distinguished by the presence of truncated egg ends, the short stiff tail spike of the female, and the presence of a spicule in the male. This is the second species of Spauligodon to be described from Oceania.
新种海洋半叶趾虎线虫(Spauligodon gehyrae n. sp.,线虫纲:咽管线虫科),一种新的尖尾线虫,在海洋半叶趾虎(Gehyra oceanica)的大肠中被发现,并予以描述和图示。在密克罗尼西亚马里亚纳群岛关岛采集的11只成年雌性海洋半叶趾虎中,有9只共携带了480只海洋半叶趾虎线虫标本;感染率为82%(平均感染强度为53,范围为6 - 179)。海洋半叶趾虎线虫是该属被描述的第33个物种,其特征为卵端截形、雌虫有短而硬的尾刺以及雄虫有交合刺。这是大洋洲描述的第二个半叶趾虎线虫物种。
