Comments. The morphological characters observed in the specimens agree with the original description given by Digiani et al.

Digiani et al. (2012) gathered material of S. angouya from four localities: Reserva Privada de Vida Silvestre Urugua-í , Depto. General Manuel Belgrano; Puerto Península, Parque Nacional Iguazú, Depto. Iguazú; Refugio Moconá, A ° Oveja Negra and Ruta 2, Reserva de la Biósfera Yabotí, Depto.

This is the first record of G. ulysi for E. russatus , enlarging the geographical and host range of the species.
