Adult and immature Arhythmorhynchus comptus (Acanthocephala: Polymorphidae) were found parasitizing the Baird’s Sandpiper, Calidris bairdii , and the White-rumped Sandpiper, Calidris fuscicollis (Aves: Scolopacidae), from several locations in Patagonia, Argentina. This is the first record of A. comptus in the southern part of South America and from C. fuscicollis and C. bairdii , expanding both its geographical and host distribution. Additionally, immature specimens belonging to the genus Profilicollis were found in both bird species.
