Abstract

Nine species of marine fishes (Oligoplites sp., Epinephelus sp., Centropomus undecimalis, Centropomus pectinatus, Pomadasys sp., Lutjanus sp., Cynoscion sp., Arius jordani, Arius troscheli) from Charambirá, Chocó Department, along the Pacific coast of Colombian, were examined for digenean trematodes. Seven species of trematodes belonging to six families were found; Manterias brachycerus, Tergestialaticollis, Pseudo Acanthosoma Panamense, Prosorhynchuspacificum, Pseudo Cryptogenic cirrhitia, Pleorchis americanus and Megasolena sp. The species are fully described and illustrated.
