          Abstract

          ABSTRACT Nematodes of the family Mermithidae were found parasitizing adults and nymphs of the species Hortensia similis (Auchenorryncha: Cicadellidae). The host specimens were collected from weeds associated to citrus orchards located in Corrientes, Argentinean province, during a biodiversity study in 2015. As far as we know, this is the first South American example of leafhoppers parasitized by mermithids.

          RESUMEN Se encontraron nematodos de la familia Mermithidae parasitando ninfas y adultos de Hortensia similis (Auchenorryncha: Cicadellidae). Los especímenes hospedadores fueron recolectados en malezas asociadas a huertos de cítricos ubicados en la provincia de Corrientes, Argentina, durante un estudio de biodiversidad en 2015. Hasta donde sabemos, este es el primer ejemplo de chicharritas parasitadas por un mermítido en Sudamérica.

              First extant records of mermithid nematode parasitism of Auchenorrhyncha in Europe.

              Parasitic nematodes of the family Mermithidae were found within four specimens of Auchenorrhyncha from two families (Cicadellidae and Delphacidae). This appears to be the the first extant example of mermithid parasitism of Auchenorrhyncha in Europe. The insect hosts were collected from agricultural grassland field margins at three locations in Ireland during a farmland biodiversity study in 2007.
