Thirteen specimens of Phalacrocorax brasilianus (Gmelin, 1789) from three areas of the Chaquena Subregion of Argentina were examined for digeneans. Ten species were found: four diplostomids ( Austrodiplostomum mordax , A. ostrowskiae , Tylodelphys adulta and Hysteromorpha triloba ), three echinostomatids ( Drepanocephalus spathans , Paryphostomum segregatum , and P . parvicephalum ), one strigeid ( Strigea falconis brasiliana ), one psilostomid ( Ribeiroia ondatrae ) and one prosthogonimid ( Prosthogonimus ovatus ). Tylodelphys adulta and S. f. brasiliana are reported for the first time as parasites of P. brasilianus and new geographical records are presented.
