Oswaldocruzia mazzai Freitas & Lent, 1935, Oswaldocruzia lopesi Travassos, 1938, Aplectana membranosa (Schneider, 1866) Miranda, 1924, Physaloptera retusa Rudolphi, 1819, Capillaria sp., and Cosmocerca sp. (from amphibians), Diplotriaena bargusinica Skrjabin, 1917 and Porrocaecum sp. (from birds), Dipetalonema graciliformis Freitas, 1964 and Monodontus sp. (from mammals) represent new hosts and a new geographical distribution. Kalicephalus subulatus Molin, 1861 (from reptiles) is reported from a new host.
