Abstract

Forty-four Neotoma cinerea rupicola, one N. c. orolestes, and three N. cinerea subspp. were examined for endoparasites. Aspiculuris ackerti Kruidenier and Mehra, 1959, is redescribed and a key to the species of the genus Aspiculuris Schultz, 1924, is provided. Nematodirus neotoma Hall, 1916, is redecscribed and N. tortuosus Tucker, 1942, is placed in synonymy with it. Cysticercoids of Paruterina vandelabraria (Goeze, 1782) Fuhrmann, 1906, and immature Monoecocestus sp. constitute new host records.
