(Argulidae), a Parasite of Hoplias aimara (Eritrhinidae).h[electronic resource]  c2016  aThis paper records the first occurrence of Epistylis sp. on the body surface of Argulus sp. parasitizing Hoplias aimara from the upper Araguari River, in the eastern Amazon region, in the north of Brazil. Of the 16 specimens of H. aimara examined, 93.7% had their pelvic, caudal and pectoral fins and tegument infested by Argulus sp. (n = 73), which in turn were infested by Epistylis sp. The specimens of Epistylis sp. from the body surface of Argulus sp. were analyzed using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The present study also identified a widening of the geographic distribution of these two species of ectoparasites to the eastern Amazon region of Brazil.  aAnimal parasite  aEastern Amazon  aOpportunistic Parasite  aParasite Ecology  aParasito animal1 aOLIVEIRA, M.
