	abstract = {The North American moniliformid acanthocephalan, Moniliformis clarki (Ward, 1917) Chandler, 1921 (nec Van Cleave, 1924) is reported for the first time in Missouri from the pocket gopher, Geomys bursarius missouriensis. Intensity and mean intensity of M. clarki infection were 2-20 and 7.3 per individual, respectively. The diagnostic characteristics of proboscis armature and egg size conformed to those of M. clarki. Other anatomical structures were closer in size to those of the other cosmopolitan moniliformid acanthocephalan Moniliformis moniliformis (Bremser, 1811) Travassos, 1915.},
