ABSTRACT
A worm-like specimen recovered from a patient previously identified as Armillifer sp. in the city of Yulin,Guangxi Autonomous Region. After comparative analysis of habitat (serpents as final hosts and human being as accidental intermediate host) and body size of the 4 known pathogenic pentastomid species of Armillifer (A.agkistrodontis, A.armillatus, A.grandis and A.moniliformis) with the recovered specimen, the present authors consider that the recovered specimen has been misidentified as Armillifer sp. The recovered specimen probably belongs to a nasal leech.
