Inglisera cirrohamata (Linstow, 1888) (Nematoda: Acuariidae) is redescribed based on specimens collected from the type host, Phalacrocorax verrucosus (Aves: Phalacrocoracidae), and the type locality, Kerguelen Island, in the southern Indian Ocean. Three new hosts and 2 new localities were recorded: Phalacrocorax [atriceps] albiventer and P. brasilianus from Puerto Madryn, Argentina, and P. magellanicus from Puerto Williams, Chile. The structure of the cephalic ornamentations was observed and fully described. The presence of 6 pairs of postcloacal papillae is confirmed, a description of the tip of left spicule is given, and the presence of postdeirids is reported for the first time. This constitutes the first record of this nematode in South America, and provides the first study of the genus by scanning electron microscopy.
