Abstract:

For the first time in Chile, the presence of Microthoracius mazzai (Werneck 1932) and Bovicola breviceps (Rudow 1866), are reported, and the presence of M. praelongiceps (Neuman 1909) parasiting alpacas in the General Lagos area (I Region) is also confirmed. The importance of this situation is discussed in the present report
