Abstract

Ascaridoid nematodes reported from terrestrial and freshwater chelonians are described under two monotypic genera, Angusticaecum and a new genus Krefftascaris respectively. The former genus contain A. holopterum (Rodolphi, 1819) Baylis, 1920 [synonym A. brevispiculum Chapin, 1924], reported in the natural state from testudinid and emydid tortoises in Europe, U.S.S.R., Iran, Brazil and North Africa. Teh latter genus contains a new species, K. parmenteri, reported from chelid freshwater turtles in Eastern Australia. It is concluded that the former is most closely related to species in other genera in terrestrial reptiles, whereas the latter is closest to Gedoelstascaris spp. in crocodilians. Host-parasite relationships over evolutionary time between ascaridoids and chelonians are discussed.
