	abstract = {<p>The morphological characters of the ischnoceran genus Bothriometopus occurring on Anhimidae in the Neotropic only are studied in a comparitive study. Bothriometopus show some morphological affinities with both Ornithobius Denny, 1842 (on Anaidae: Anserinae and Tadorninae) and Acidoproctus Piaget, 1878 (on Anseranatidae and Anatidae: Dendrocygninae, Stictonettinae and Anatinae). Adult and preadult stages of the two included species, Bothriometops macrocnemis (Burmeister, 1838) (genero type) and B. simillimus (Giebel, 1874) are fully described and illustrated, along with comments on their feeding, dispersion on their host bodies, prevalence and geographical distribution. General remarks on morphological relationships of the three cited genera and host distribution are also given.</p>
