Abstract
During a survey of parasites of fish in Lake St. Lucia, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, Dichelyne (Dichelyne)
rasheedae was recovered from the intestines of Pomadasys commersonnii and Rhabdosargus sarba,
and Spirocamallanus olseni from Rhabdosargus sarba. These are new host and geographical records.
Both species of nematodes are redescribed and figured by use of light and scanning-electron microscopical
techniques, and additional morphological data are provided.
