Extract

1. A new species of Oxysomatium (O. minutum) is described from a frog Rana ptychadena mascareniensis.

2. The crested chameleon (C.? cristatus) and Bufo supercilioris are reported as new species of hosts recorded for Africana africana (Gendre, 1909) Travassos, 1920.

3. Strongyluris brevicandata Müller, 1894 and Thelandros sp. are reported from Agama agama agama.

4. Amplicaecum involutum (Gedoelst, 1916) Yorke and Maplestone, 1926 is redescribed from Chamaeleon (?) cristatus which is regarded as a new host record and A. pesteri n.sp. from Bufo superciloris is described to be the smallest species of this genus.
