Abstract

Twenty-nine hylid frogs, Nyctimystes perimetri, from Milne Bay Province, Papua New Guinea, were examined for helminths. Four species of Nematoda were found: Maxvachonia adamsoni, Maxvachonia ingens, Pseudorictularia disparilis, and encysted larvae of Abbreviata sp. Larvae of Abbreviata sp. were the most abundant (n = 47) and had the highest prevalence (51%). Like many other Papua New Guinean hylids, N. perimetri is infected by a combination of Papuan ( = New Guinea) endemics, Australian–Papuan endemics, and semicosmopolitan helminths.
