Abstract
Corynosoma obtuscens Lincicome 1943 (Acanthocephala, Polymorphidae) is reported in the small intestine of Andean fox Pseudalopex culpaeus (Molina, 1782) from San Juan de Marcona, in the department of Ica, Peru. This is the second time that C. obtuscens is reported to infect terrestrial mammals in Peru supporting that P. culpaeus is a definitive accidental host of the parasite. In addition, the possibility that C. obtuscens infects humans is discussed.
