Notes
A survey was conducted in areas of southern Nevada for helminths of roundtailed and antelope ground squirrels and only nematodes were recovered, including Spirura leucurusi n. sp., Subulura nevadense n. sp., Citellina triradiata, Syphacia citelli, and Physaloptera sp. Descriptions of the new species and brief discussions of each parasite recovered are presented, as well as a key to North American species of the genus Spirura. The roundtailed ground squirrel is a new host record for C. triradiata and S. citelli, and the antelope ground squirrel is a new record for S. citelli.
