• Popis: West African endemic species of gecko Tarentola parvicarinata Jogger, 1980 collected in the Niokolo Koba National Park in West Senegal is a new host record of the nematode species Parapharyngodon echinatus (Rudolphi, 1819). Fifty one specimens of P. echinatus were studied under optical microscope and for the first time also by a scanning electron microscope. The main differences between P. echinatus and other African species, especially Parapharyngodon micipsae Seurat, 1917, were in the shape of annules on body cuticule, broad lateral alae and their terminating, further in the shape of distal extremity of spicule and number of outgrowths at anterior cloacal lip. For the purposes of DNA barcoding, two specimens of P. echinatus were sequenced. The nucleic acid sequence spanned 937 bp of the small subunit ribosomal RNA gene.
