: In South America, Pterinotrematoides mexicanum Caballero & Bravo-Hollis, 1955 has been reported in the state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and in Argentina parasitizing Micropogonias furnieri (Desmarest, 1823). In this paper, the first record of P . mexicanum in the same host from the coastal zone of the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil is presented, filling a gap of occurrence of P . mexicanum . The morphology of P . mexicanum is redescribed and compared with that of Neopterinotrematoides avaginata Suriano, 1975.
