Abstract
Two pharyngodonid nematode species, Pharynggdon tili- quae and Thelandros trachysauri, infect the Australian lizard Egernia stokesii (gidgee skink) in populations from South Australia. Eggs are detected in lizard scats that are deposited in piles outside the rock crev- ice refuges that the lizards occupy. Eggs were isolated by salt flotation from fresh scats and from scats that had been dried in simulated field
