Remarks.

Skrjabinoptera is a genus of nematodes poorly represented around the world with only 10 species described as parasites, mainly of lizards, and only one species recorded from a snake ( Rudolphi 1819). In Mexico, only S. scelopori has been recorded in three species of lizards: S. torquatus , S. grammicus , and Phyllodactylus lanei Smith ( Gekkonidae ) ( Goldberg and Bursey 2000, Paredes-León et al. 2008). Sceloporus pyrocephalus is the fourth host species recorded for this helminth in the country.
