Thirty-one Ctenotus leonhardii and 30 C. quattuordecimlineatus from Western Australia were examined for helminths. Ctenotus leonhardii harbored the nematodes Maxvachonia chabaudi and Abbreviata sp. (larvae), and C. quattuordecimlineatus harbored the nematodes M. chabaudi, Parapharyngodon kartana, Physalopteroides filicauda, Wanaristrongylus ctenoti, and Abbreviata sp. (larvae). Highest prevalence (30%) was recorded for Abbreviata sp. in C. quattuordecimlineatus, and greatest mean intensity (3.5) was recorded for Abbreviata sp. in C. leonhardii. Ctenotus leonhardii represents a new host record for M. chabaudi and Abbreviata sp. Ctenotus quattuordecimlineatus represents a new host record for M. chabaudi and P. kartana.
