Paragordius tricuspidatus (Dufour, 1828) and Spinochordodes tellinii (Camerano, 1888) are two sympatric species of horsehair worms in southern France. Paragordius tricuspidatus was found in only one host species, Nemobius sylvestris (Bosc, 1792), while Spinochordodes tellinii was found in nine different hosts belonging to Orthoptera Caelifera. Size of nematomorphs varied strongly, but is additionally influenced by host size (in Spinochordodes tellinii) or number of parasites per host (in Paragordius tricuspidatus). Both species have a clear seasonality with Paragordius tricuspidatus occurring from June to early August and Spinochordodes tellinii occurring in August and September. (C) 2005 Elsevier GmbH.
