在美国德克萨斯州休斯顿的地中海壁虎（Hemidactylus turcicus）的肺中描述了Raillietiella teagueselfi n. spp .。这种新的五舌体与印度尼西亚亚洲Tokay壁虎（Gekko gecko）的R. affinis Bovien（1927）最密切相关，但成熟雄性的不同之处是具有圆形的后钩，带有肿胀的钝尖钩，而不是相对锋利的钩。此外，雌性的环数可以很容易地将新种与10种钝尖种中的6种区分出来(R. gehyrae Bovien, 1927； R. hemidactyli Hett, 1934； R. maculatus Rao and Hiregauder, 1959； R. monarchus Ali et al., 1984； R. mabuae (Heymons, 1922)；R. scincoides Ali et al., 1984)。在剩下的3种钝尖尾尾瓢虫中，有两种（R. frenatus Ali et al., 1981，和R. maculibris Ali et al., 1984）与雌瓢虫的区别在于它们的钩尺寸更大。该新种与r.f reitasi （Motta and Gomes, 1968）的区别在于具有钩状针状体。对感染的流行程度和强度进行了观察。
Raillietiella teagueselfi n. sp. is described from the lungs of the Mediterranean gecko, Hemidactylus turcicus, in Houston, Texas, U.S.A. This new pentastomid is most closely related to R. affinis Bovien, 1927, of Asiatic Tokay geckos (Gekko gecko) in Indonesia, but mature males differ in possessing rounded posterior hooks with swollen, blunt-tipped barbs, instead of relatively sharp-tipped hooks. In addition, the annulus number of females can readily differentiate the new species from 6 of the 10 blunt-tipped species (R. gehyrae Bovien, 1927; R. hemidactyli Hett, 1934; R. maculatus Rao and Hiregauder, 1959; R. monarchus Ali et al., 1984; R. mabuiae (Heymons, 1922); and R. scincoides Ali et al., 1984). Two of the remaining 3 species of blunt-tipped raillietiellids (R. frenatus Ali et al., 1981, and R. maculibris Ali et al., 1984) are differentiated from female R. teagueselfi by having larger hook dimensions. The new species can be distinguished from R. freitasi (Motta and Gomes, 1968) by having a hooked spicule. Observations on the prevalence and intensity of infections are presented.
