A new nematode species, Rhabdias lacertae n. sp. (Rhabdiasidae), is described from the body cavity of the common lizard Lacerta vivipara Jacquin (Lacertidae) from the Ridge of Malá Fatra (Sokolie Hill), north-western Slovakia. The new species differs from its congeners mainly in possessing three minute cuticular spikes at the tail tip and some other features. It is the first species of Rhabdias described from lizards in Europe and the first species of this genus parasitizing hosts belonging to Lacertidae.
