(sigmodontinae) from the province of catamarca, argentina are studied. three new species of stilestrongylus freitas, lent and almeida, 1937 (heligmosomoidea: heligmonellidae: nippostrongylinae) are described. stilestrongylus andalgala n. sp. is distinguished from the most closely related species s. moreli diaw, 1976 parasitic in auliscomys boliviensis from bolivia, by the absence of a common trunk of right rays 2 and 3, by lef ...	2007	17129752
