Resumen
Los estudios de helmintos parásitos de anfibios argentinos se han centrado en las ecorregiones del Chaco Seco y Húmedo; en el Chaco Seco los reportes se realizaron en las provincias de Chaco y Formosa. El objetivo de este trabajo fue reportar el primer registro de Aplectana hylambatis (Baylis, 1927) Travassos, 1931 (Nematoda: Cosmocercidae) para la provincia de San Luis y el registro más austral para la ecorregión del Chaco Seco. Se analizaron ejemplares de Rhinella arenarum (Hensel, 1867) (n = 6), Leptodactylus mystacinus (Burmeister, 1861) (n = 13) y Odontophrynus cf. asper (n = 6). Los ejemplares de A. hylambatis fueron colectados del intestino grueso de estos hospedadores y se estudiaron mediante microscopía óptica y electrónica de barrido (MEB). Se describen características relevantes, como el número y disposición de las papilas caudales, y el número y disposición de las protuberancias cuticulares tipo mamelón asociadas a la vulva. Los caracteres morfológicos encontrados se comparan y discuten con los especímenes colectados en otros hospedadores de diferentes localidades del país. La presencia de A. hylambatis en localidades del Chaco Seco representa una ampliación del rango geográfico de este cosmocércido y el primer registro para L. mystacinus y O. cf. asper de Argentina.
The studies of helminth parasites in Argentine amphibians have focused on the Dry and Humid Chaco ecoregions; in the Dry Chaco the reports are from the Chaco and Formosa provinces. The aim of this work was to report the first record of Aplectana hylambatis (Baylis, 1927) Travassos, 1931 (Nematoda: Cosmocercidae) from San Luis province and the southernmost record for the Dry Chaco ecoregion. Specimens of Rhinella arenarum (Hensel, 1867) (n = 6), Leptodactylus mystacinus (Burmeister, 1861) (n = 13), and Odontophrynus cf. asper (n = 6) were analyzed. Specimens of A. hylambatis were collected from the large intestine of these hosts and were studied using light and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). In addition, relevant features are described, including the number and arrangement of caudal papillae and of mamelon-like cuticular protuberances associated to the vulva. The morphological characteristics are compared and discussed in relation to those of specimens collected from other hosts in other localities of the country. The presence of A. hylambatis in localities of the Dry Chaco represents an expansion of the geographic range of this cosmocercid and the first record in L. mystacinus and O. cf. asper from Argentina.
