Specimens in collections: DAB (accession numbers not provided)V
References: Aznar et al. (1994; 1995; 2012)
Notes: Aznar et al. (1994; 1995) reported few specimens of an unidentified species of a polymorphid acanthocephalan from the intestine of franciscanas P. blainvillei . These acanthocephalans were later identified as C. australe by Aznar et al. (2012).
Host: Tursiops truncatus (Montagu)
Site in host: intestine
Locality: Playa Unión (43°24'S, 65°03'W), Chubut province; northern Patagonia (40°30'– 43°30'S, 64°–65°W)
Specimens in collections: MML (accession numbers not provided)V; MZU (accession numbers not provided)V
References: Sánchez et al. (2002) and Romero et al. (2014)
Notes: Sánches et al. (2002) reported adult forms of C. australe from the intestines of a single specimen of bottlenose dolphin T. truncatus . Aznar et al. (2012) suggest that C. australe cannot apparently reproduce, nor even grow, in cetaceans. Therefore, we re-assigned these specimens as juvenile forms of C. australe .
