Popis:	Nematodes identified as Spirura rytipleurites seurati are described and illustrated by light and scanning electron microscopy from specimens collected from the stomach of hedgehogs (Erinaceus europaeus) in Sicily. They differ from S. auriti, a stomach parasite of Hemiechinus auritus, in the length of body, the position of the second pair of post-cloacal papillae in the male and the structure of the spicules. The nematodes are classified as S. rytipleurites seurati, a stomach parasite of Erinaceus algirus, but they differ slightly from it in the dimensions of the eggs, that we measured in the uterus, and in the shape of the amphids. This appears to be the first report of S. rytipleurites seurati from Italy and from E. europaeus.
