ABSTRACT. -- Twenty-nine of 58 (50 percent) unisexual gray-checkered whiptails, Cnemidophorus dixoni (pattern class A), from Presidio County, Texas, were infected with one or more helminths, including linstowiid cestodes (Oochoristica sp.) in 12 (21 percent), larval spirurid nematodes (Physaloptera sp.) in 11 (19 percent), oxyurid nematodes (Parathelandros texanus) in three (five percent), and acanthocephalan cystacanths in 12 (21 percent). This note, the sixth in a series on helminths of species of Cnemidophorus, reports parasites in C. dixoni A for the second time. Key words: Acanthocephala; Cestoidea; Nematoda; Cnemidophorus dixoni A; helminths; lizards; Teiidae. **********
