Abstract
Spasskyellina mandi n. sp. (Proteocephalidea: Monticelliidae) is descr ibed from the Siluriform fish Pimelodus ornatus Kner, 1857, caught in the Parana River, Parana, Brazil. The new species differs from other s pecies of the same genus mainly by a fewer number of testes and by a l arger osmoregulatory canal. This is the second species of proteocephal idean cestode collected in P. ornatus.
