The present paper comprises a systematic survey of nematodes of the superfamilies Seuratoidea, Ascaridoidea, Habronematoidea and Acuarioidea collected from fishes in the Parana River, southern Brazil, in 1985 and 1991. The following 17 species were recorded: Neoparaseuratum travassosi, Cucullanus pinnai, C. pseudoplatystomae sp. n. (type host Pseudoplatystoma coruscans), C. brevispiculus sp. n. (type host Auchenipterus nuchalis), C. pimelodellae sp. n. (type host Pimelodella lateristriga), Cucullanus sp. 1, Cucullanus sp. 2, Cucullanus sp. 3, Dichelyne leporini, Raphidascaris (Sprentascaris) mahnerti, Raphidascaris (S.) sp. larva, Hysterothylacium sp. larvae, Contracaecum sp. 1 larvae, Contracaecum sp. 2 larvae, Goezia sp. larvae, Spinitectus asperus, and Acuariinae gen. sp. larvae. Most nematode species are briefly described and illustrated and problems concerning their taxonomy, hosts and geographical distribution are discussed.
