Oswaldocruzia sp.

Host and record: Leptodactylus bufonius Boulenger, 1894 (Co) , Physalaemus albonotatus (Steindachner, 1864) (Co) .

Site of infection: Small intestine.

Material deposited: CECOAL 0 0 101005 ( L. bufonius ), CECOAL 96040901 ( P. albonotatus ). References: González & Hamann (2006a; 2012b).

References: Travassos (1935; 1937).

Notes: Durette-Desset et al. (2006) considered O. mazzai sensu Vicente (1981) nec Travassos (1935) as species inquirenda.

Oswaldocruzia proencai Ben Slimane and Durette-Desset, 1995 (= Oswaldocruzia mazzai sensu Lent et al., 1939 nec Travassos, 1935)

Host and record: Rhinella schneideri (Werner, 1894) (Co, Sa) , Rhinella arenarum (= Ch. arenarum ) (Sa). Site of infection: Small intestine, large intestine.

Material deposited: CECOAL 0 3091901 ( R. schneideri, Co ), CH-FML 0 7444 ( R. schneideri, Sa ), CH-FML 0 7448 ( R. arenarum ).

References: Ramallo et al. (2007a; 2007c), González & Hamann (2008). Notes: Ben Slimane and Durette-Desset (1995) established this species from Paraguayan specimens reported as O. mazzai by Lent et al. (1946).

Oswaldocruzia subauricularis (Rudolphi, 1819)

Host and record: Rhinella fernandezae (Gallardo, 1957) (Co) Site of infection: Small intestine.

References: Hamann et al. (2013).

Notes: Durette-Desset et al. (2006) established that the species reported as O. subauricularis sensu Freitas, 1955 nec Rudolpphi, 1819 should be considered as a species inquirenda.
