Resumen en ingles
Camallanus tridentatus is redescribed on the basis of the examination of specimens obtained from the stomach,
caeca and intestine of the naturally infected arapaima Arapaima gigas (Schinz) from the Mexiana Island, Amazon
River Delta, Brazil. Data on the surface morphology of adults inferred from confocal laser scanning and scanning
electron microscopical observations are also provided. The study revealed some taxonomically important, previously
unreported morphological features in this species, such as the presence of the poorly sclerotized left spicule
and deirids. C. tridentatus distinctly differs from other congeneric species parasitizing freshwater fishes in South
America mainly in the structure of the buccal capsule and the female caudal end. C. maculatus Martins, Garcia,
Piazza and Ghiraldelli is considered a junior synonymm of Camallanus cotti Fujita.
