Abstract
A new bucephalid species, Prosorhynchoides carvajali sp. nov. is described. This parasite was found in three marine fish, Auchenionchus microcirrhis (type-host), A. variolosus and Sicyases sanguineus (other-hosts), collected from the intertidal rocky zones of central Chile. P. carvajali sp. nov. is characterized by a pharynx in a post-equatorial position, a large cirrus sac length (half of the total worm length) and rounded caecum extending dorsally and anteriorly from pharynx. Although Prosorhynchoides carvajali sp. nov. closely resembles P. labiata; the latter has an elongated, narrow and inverted-U-shape caecum, contrasting to P. carvajali sp. nov. which has a larger rounded caecum, directed anteriorly. To our knowledge this is the first known report of Prosorhynchoides on the South American Pacific coast.
