Resumen:
A checklist based on bibliographical records and own original data of an extensive survey is presented for the metazoan parasites of Galaxias maculatus (Jenyns, 1842) in Argentinean Patagonian. The checklist incudes 33 metazoan parasite entries: 5 myxozoans, 12 digeneans, 2 monogeneans, 3 cestodes, 2 acanthocephalans, 7 nematodes, 1 copepod, and 1 bivalve. No previously reported species include Gyrodactylus sp., Pomphorhynchus patagonicus Ortubay, Úbeda, Semenas and Kennedy, 1991, and Hysterothylacium patagonense Moravec, Urawa and Coria, 1997. Although this checklist enlarges the knowledge of G. maculatus parasites, a large portion of Patagonia remains unexplored and many of its lakes and rivers have never been surveyed for parasites, especially in the southern part of the region
