Icosiella turgeocauda n. sp. (Nematoda: Onchocercidae) and Seuratascaris numidica (Nematoda: Ascarididae), parasites of the frog, Rana cancrivora (Anura: Ranidae), from Luzon, Republic of the Philippines.
Icosiella turgeocauda n. sp. from the intestinal mesenteries of Rana cancrivora collected at Luzon, Republic of the Philippines, is described and illustrated. Icosiella turgeocauda n. sp. represents the ninth species to be assigned to the genus and is easily differentiated from all the previously described species by the position of the vulva and the presence of bilateral umbos on the caudal end of the male. Seuratascaris numidica also was found. The Philippines represents a new location record for S. numidica.
