Abstract
This work provides information on the occurrence of adult trematodes (Aspidogastrea and Digenea) in freshwater fishes from Argentina. To date, a total of 77 trematode species belonging to 21 families have been recorded. Haploporidae, Allocreadiidae and Cryptogonimidae (15, nine and nine species, respectively) showed the highest species richness, whereas the number of species ranged from one to seven species for the other 18 families. Of these, five new species have been recently described in Argentina; nine were cited for the first time; 17 had new host records, and 28 were reported from new localities. The orders Characiformes, Perciformes and Siluriformes harboured the highest richness of trematode species.
