Abstract: This is the first report of the identification of Acuaria skrjabini Ozerska, 1926 (Nematoda: Spirurida) in New Zealand. The nematodes were recovered from the gizzard of a Cordon Bleu finch (Uraeginthus bengalus) kept as a caged bird at Waldronville, Otago. Mebendazole (Telmin), at 125 parts per million in the drinking water for 6 days, appeared to treat the infection successfully.
