A new host and geographic locality record is reported for tetrathyridia of Mesocestoides sp. in two species of ranid frogs (Rana berlandieri and R. pipiens) from Texas and New York, respectively. Tetrathyridia were found encapsulated in liver and mesenteries of the hosts. Morphological examination and experimental inoculation of these tetrathyridia into mice demonstrated the absence of capacity for asexual proliferation. Overall prevalence of infection was low in anurans from Arkansas, Texas and New York, but intensities can be generally high. In addition, a summary of frogs and toads from North America reported as hosts of tetrathyridia of Mesocestoides sp. is presented.
