Abstract

Reportamos el primer registro de parasitismo del nematodo Ochoterenella Caballero, 1944 en el sapo Rhinella horribilis. Un especimen de Ochoterenella sp. fue encontrado en la cavidad abdominal, adherido a la pared inferior del estómago, de un R. horribilis. Los especímenes fueron colectados en Tobar Donoso, provincia de Carchi, noroccidente del Ecuador.
