Nematodes collected from Cynoscion striatus caught in the Argentine - Uruguayan Common Fishing Zone were identified as Dichelyne (D.) spinicaudatus; this finding represents the first record of the genus Dichelyne, subgenus Dichelyne in the South West Atlantic Ocean. Seasonal and possible transmission patterns of these nematodes in relation to the feeding habits of the host were also examined.
