During 1991, in one of three specimens of Oncorhynchus mykiss cultured in Puyehue Lake (40 degrees 36'S, 72 degrees 26'W) was registered for first time the infection by Camallanus corderoi. Comments on the morphological and geographic distribution of the three species of Camallanus described in South America are also given.
