Abstract
The morphology of three new record species of parasitic nematodes found in Indonesian snakes are described: Ophidascaris infundibulicola (Linstow, 1903) Freitas, 1967; O. trichuriformis Vas, 1935 and Polydelphys anura Duj., 1845 from Medan, Rantau Prapat, Sumatera; and O. trichuriformis from X. melanozostus from Imogiri Java, Indonesia. The morphological features of each nematode were observed using light and scanning electron microscopes. Measurements are given in micrometers (m) as the mean followed by the range in parentheses unless otherwise stated.
