Abstract

Eight robust ctenotus individuals, Ctenotus robustus Storr, 1970, and 8 copper-tailed skinks, Ctenotus taeniolatus (White, 1790), from Australia were examined for helminths. Only Nematoda were found. Ctenotus robustus contained Skrjabinodon piankai. Ctenotus taeniolatus contained Abbreviata sp. (larvae in cysts) and S. piankai. Ctenotus robustus and C. taeniolatus are the fourth and fifth hosts to harbor S. piankai. All findings are new host records.
