Apresentamos dados sobre a infracomunidades de nematóides parasitas de Polycrhus acutirostris, lagarto arborícola do bioma Caatinga região semi-árida do nordeste do Brasil. Foram analisados 22 espécimes de lagartos coletados em um ambiente de Caatinga no município de Várzea Alegre, Estado do Ceará e no município de Exu, Pernambuco. Duas espécies de nematóides foram encontradas, um Oxyuridae, Gynaecometra bahiensis, com intensidade média de infecção 23,5 ± 5,8 (prevalência de 22%) e um Physalopteridae, Physaloptera retusa, com intensidade de infecção 21 (prevalência de 9%). Não houve diferenças significativas entre as taxas de parasitismo de lagartos machos ou fêmeas. Polycrhus acutirostris demonstrou baixa riqueza de parasitos, mas altos níveis de infecção por G. bahiensis. Polychrus acutirostris é registrado aqui como um novo hospedeiro para P.retusa.

We present data on nematode infracommunity of the arboreal lizard Polycrhus acutirostris in the semiarid Caatinga biome, northeastern Brazil. Twenty- twolizard specimens collected in the municipality of Várzea Alegre in Ceará State and in the municipality of Exu in Pernambuco State were analyzed. Two species of nematodes were found, an Oxyuridae, Gynaecometra bahiensis, which had amean intensity of infection 23.5 ± 5.8 (prevalence 22%) and a Physalopteridae, Physaloptera retusa which had infection intensity of 21 (prevalence 9%). There were no significant differences between the parasitism rates of male or female lizards. Polychrus acutirostris demonstrated low richness of nematode parasites, but high levels of infection with G. bahiensis. Polychrus acutirostrisis reported here as a new host for P.retusa.

The association among Anastrepha species, braconid parasitoids and host fruits in southern Bahia is recorded. Doryctobracon areolatus (Szépligeti) was associated with A. serpentina (Wied.) in Pouteria caimito, A. bahiensis Lima in Helicostylis tomentosa, A. sororcula Zucchi in Eugenia uniflora, and A. obliqua (Macquart) in Spondias purpurea. Anatrepha obliqua was unique in fruits of Averrhoa carambola, but associated with D. areolatus, Asobara anastrephae (Muesebeck) and Utetes anastrephae (Viereck). In Achras sapota, A. serpentina was associated with A. anastrephae and D. areolatus, while in Psidium guajava, A. fraterculus (Wied.) and A. sororcula were associated with D. areolatus and U. anastrephae.
