Abstract: During the present study, about 294 Mabuya quinquetaeniata (the common name is bean skin, sehlia garraiya), 196 0f Ptyodactylus hasselquistti (the common name is fan footed gecko, bors abukaff,) 60 Tarentola annularis (the common name is Egyptian gecko, white spotted gecko), 30 0f Hemidactylus turicicus (the common name is Turkish gecko, bors manzeli), 106 of Chalcides ocellatus (the common name is eyed shink, Sehlia doffana) and 30 of Chalcides sepsoides (the common name is Audouin's sand; Sehlia nana) were collected from different localities of Qena Governorate which considered as a new locality for this. Two nematode species were found and identified. The first species is Pharyngodon mamillatus which belonging to family Pharyngodonidae Travassos, 1919 and collected from the large intestine of Mabuya quinquetaeniate (38 out 294), Ptyodatctylus hasselquistti (112 out 196), Tarentola annularis (40 out of 60), and Hemidactylus turicicus (120 out of 130), the rate of infections were 12.9%, 57.1%, 80%, 92.3% respectively. The second species is Thelandros sp. which was collected from the large intestine of Chalcides ocellatus, (54 out of 106), Chalcides sepsoides (20 out of 30), Ptyodactus hasselquistti (6 out of 196) and Hemidactylus turicicus (4 out of 130), the rate of infections were 50.9%, 66.6%, 3.06% and 3.07%, respectively.
