Single female specimens of Pelecitus sp. and Thelazia sp. are presented. The male of P. circular is is fully illustrated, for the first time, since 1884. Ascaridia ser giomeirai is also restudied 59 years after its proposition. New host r ecords are established. Remarks on other species of nematodes occurrin g in psittacid birds are included.
