Note. Berón-Vera et al. (2008) reported mature males in the intestine of Phocoena dioptrica. The stage of development of Corynosoma australe in Phocoena dioptrica might be wrong, since this acanthocephalan apparently is unable to mature in cetaceans (see Aznar et al. 2012). The stage of development reported for Corynosoma australe in Tursiops truncatus by Sánchez et al. (2006) might be wrong, since Corynosoma australe apparently is unable to mature in cetaceans (see Aznar et al. 2012).
