Contracaecum osculatum ( Rudolphi, 1802) s.l.

Host: Otaria flavescens (Shaw)

Site in host: stomach

References: Carrara (1952)

Notes: Carrara (1952) identified these nematodes as C. osculatum . However, since C. osculatum s.s. parasitize seals from the North Hemisphere (see Mattiucci and Nascetti 2008) we re-assigned this taxa as C. osculatum s.l.
