Abstract

Three species in the genus Terranova occurring in reptiles are redescribed and differentiated: (1) Terranova lanceolata (Molin 1860) new combination, [=Terranova braziliensis (Schuurmans-Stekhoven, 1937) Hartwich, 1957] from Melanosuchus niger in Brazil; (2) Terranova crocodili (Taylor 1924) from crocodiles in West Africa and Malaya and from Crocodylus porosus and C. johnstoni in Australia: (3) Terranova caballeroi Barus and Coy Otero, 1966 from colubrine snakes in Louisiana and Florida, U.S.A. and Cuba. The distribution and affinities of these species is discussed. Ascaris quadrata Linstow, 1904 is regarded as a species dubium incertae sedis.
