Remarks: Species of genus Centrorhynchus include diurnal or nocturnal rapacious birds (Falconiforms or Strigiforms) as definitive hosts, and terrestrial isopods or insects, as intermediate hosts. Their various paratenic hosts (amphibians, reptiles, and mammals), play a fundamental role in their transmission to birds ( Torres & Puga 1996).
