Abstract

An updated checklist of adult tapeworms (Platyhelminthes: Cestoda) that parasitize wild North American amphibians and reptiles is presented: A total of 58 species grouped in 15 genera, 5 families, and 3 orders, are registered; these infect a total of 90 species of reptiles and 88 species of amphibians in the region. An illustrated identification key for the families and genera listed is proposed.
