Pseudoterranova decipiens ( Krabbe, 1878) s.l.

Host: Tursiops truncatus (Montagu)

Site in host: forestomach

Notes: Romero et al. (2014) reported specimens of P. decipiens mainly in the forestomach of bottlenose dolphins T. truncatus , from northern Patagonia. Pseudoterranova decipiens s.s. occur as parasite of seals from the North Hemisphere (Mattiucci and Nascetti 2008); therefore, we re-assigned Romero et al. (2014) specimens as P. decipiens s.l.
