摘要
Two new parasite records are reported for the gidgee skink, Egernia stokesii, from the Warruwarldunha Range (31degrees54'S; 138degrees25'E) near Hawker, in the lower Flinders Ranges of South Australia, Australia. Pharyngodon tiliquae and Thelandros trachysauri were recovered from scats collected from captive individuals of E. stokesii. Social aggregation in these lizards and the use of tongue flicking to explore odor cues on scats may enhance parasite transmission.
