title: On Atractis species: a nematode from the caecum of dabb-lizard, Uromystax aegyptius (Anderson, 1896) in Saudi Arabia.
abstract: Six dabb-lizard, Uromystax aegyptius were caught from Riyadh and Jeddah areas, and examined for natural helminth parasitic infection. They were all parasites free except for innumerable small nematodes which were identified Atractis species. The parasites were collected from the caeum and lower gut.
