A description of a new species of horsehair worm,    Acutogordius   taiwanensis    sp. n. , a redescription of    Chordodes   formosanus   , and novel host records for the latter are provided.    Acutogordius   taiwanensis    sp. n.  is morphologically similar to    A.   protectus    with moderately flat areoles on its tail tips, but is distinguishable by small mid-body ornamentations. Despite the distinct differences in the post-cloacal crescents between 14 male samples, their conspecific status, along with that of nine female samples, was upheld by a phylogenetic comparison of partial cytochrome oxidase subunit I ( COI ) sequences.    Chordodes   formosanus    is another common horsehair worm species in Taiwan, which was previously believed to specifically parasitize    Hierodula    mantids. However, in this study, five    C.   formosanus    were observed emerging from an    Acromantis    mantid, and two long-horned grasshopper hosts (   Leptoteratura    sp. and    Holochlora   japonica   ). These five worms showed high degrees of similarity in  COI  sequences and morphology, but one of these individuals bore abnormal crowned areoles, which has never been observed in    C.   formosanus   , and may be attributed to the incomplete development of this particular individual.
