During necropsy of a Burton's snake lizard (Lialis burtonis Gray 1835) that was imported from Australia in January 1994, juvenile acanthocephalans were recovered from the mesentery and small bowel serosa which were identified as Porrorchis hylae (Johnston, 1914). This find represents a new paratenic host record for the species, and is recorded in a reptile native to Australia for the first time.
在对一条1994年1月从澳大利亚进口的伯顿氏蛇蜥(Lialis burtonis Gray,1835)进行尸检时,从肠系膜和小肠浆膜中发现了幼年棘头虫,经鉴定为希氏孔棘头虫(Johnston,1914)。这一发现代表了该物种新的转续宿主记录,并且首次记录于原产澳大利亚的爬行动物中。
