Oochoristica whitfieldi Guillén-Hernández, García-Prieto & Arizmendi-Espinosa, 2007 was found parasitizing C. oaxacana Köhler & Hasbun ( Iguanidae ) ( Guillén-Hernández et al. 2007); O. parvula Stunkard, 1938 was found in Coleonyx elegans Gray ( Eublepharidae ) from Oxkutzcab, Yucatán ( Stunkard 1938); O. phrynosomatis Harwood, 1932 in Phrynosoma braconnieri Dugès, and P. taurus Duméril & Bocourt ( Phrynosomatidae ) from Cacaloapan and Caltepec, both in Puebla ( Goldberg and Bursey 1991). Oochoristica scelopori Voge & Fox, 1950 was found infecting species of the family Phrynosomatidae : S. jarrovi ( Goldberg et al. 1996); S. parvus Smith, S. grammicus , S. megalepidurus Smith, S. variabilis Wiegmann, S. mucronatus Cope, and P. ditmarsi Stejneger ( Goldberg et al. 2003). Only one adult specimen of Oochoristica was found in the present study; however, it was not identified to specific level due to the absence of gravid proglottids.
