Extract

The capillariid nematodes present in passeriform hosts collected in Taiwan are recorded and described. Two new species are established, Capillaria parusi sp.n. from Parus monticolus insperatus and Sitta europaea formosana, and C. madseni sp.n. from Corvus macrorhynchus colonorum, and their affinities are discussed. Capillaria tridens, C. longifila and C. contorta are recorded from a number of new hosts.
