Abstract
ABSTRACT: Two adult orange-striped ribbonsnakes, Thamnophis proximus proximus, were collected from northern Arkansas and examined for helminths. A single snake harbored 4 specimens of the pentastomid, Kiricephalus coarctatus. We document a new host as well as a new distributional record for the parasite. This is only the second time a species of pentastomid has been reported from the state in any host. A summary of ophidian hosts of K. coarctatus from the Western Hemisphere is included.
期刊介绍：
Comparative Parasitology (continuing the Journal of the Helminthological Society of Washington in its 67th volume) focuses on parasitological research of a comparative nature, emphasizing taxonomy, systematics, ecology, biogeography, evolution, faunal survey, and biological inventory within a morphological and/or molecular context. The scope of Comparative Parasitology extends to all parasitic faunas, including helminths, protistans and arthropods.
