helminth parasites
English Birds in the Huinay area, Los Lagos region, Chile, were studied for parasites. Here we report 2 new genera and species of the family Dilepididae (Cyclophyllidea) found in common local passerines: Janinelliapeebeehi gen. n., sp. n. was found in Elaeniaalbiceps (Tyrannidae) and Huinaylepiselegans gen. n., sp. n. was found in Aphrasturaspinicauda (Furnariidae). Other dilepidid parasites are reported for the first time from Xolmispyrope (Tyrannidae) and from 2 species of Rhinocryptidae. Cotylorhipissureshi Jadhav & Shinde, 1981 is considered a species inquirenda. The very high diversity and endemism of the observed cestode fauna in the Valdivian temperate rain forests is noted.
