Specimens of Galaxias maculatus and Cnesterodon decemmaculatus were analyzed froman ichthyologic collection. These two infected fishes by L. cyprinacea enlarge the list of natural hostsin Argentina. The presence of this parasite could represent a threat to fish populations and environ-mental health due to its pathogenicity.
