A new species of cyclophyllidean tapeworm,  Oochoristica harschi  sp. nov. is described from 2 of 18 (11%) non-native Mediterranean geckos ( Hemidactylus turcicus ) collected in June 2016 from Tom Green County, Texas, USA The new species has few characteristics in common with 17 species of  Oochoristica  previously described from Nearctic reptiles. Of this group,  O. harschi  is most similar to  O. macallisteri  Bursey and Goldberg, 1996  from the side-blotched lizard,  Uta stansburiana  from Arizona and California, USA, in number of testes, 14–20  vs . 12–20. However,  O. harschi  has oval suckers and a long neck compared to the circular suckers and absent neck in  O. macallisteri . On comparison with other species of  Oochoristica , it was found  O. chinensis  Jensen, Schmidt and Kuntz, 1983 from the Sino-Japanese realm,  O. iguanae  Bursey and Goldberg, 1996  from the Neotropical realm, and  O. maccoyi  Bursey and Goldberg, 1966  from the Panamanian realm were most similar to the new species. However,  O. harschi  can be differentiated by possessing a much longer neck and a shorter cirrus pouch. It can be further differentiated from  O. chinensis  by possessing an ovoid  vs . an irregular vitellarium, from  O. iguanae  by having a smaller strobilus (65  vs . 110 mm) as well as an ovoid  vs . a triangular vitellarium, and from  O. maccoyi  by having significantly more proglottids (145  vs . 89) and a longer strobilus (65  vs . 20 mm). The new species is the fifth species of  Oochoristica  reported from non-native  H. turcicus  and the 18 th  species described from the Nearctic region.
