ABSTRACT
Spasskyellina mandi n. sp. (Proteocephalidea Monticelliidae) is decribed from the Siluriform fish pimelodus ornatus Kner, 1857, caught in the Parana river, Parana, Brazil. The new species differs from other species of the same genus mainly by a fewer number of testes and by a larger osmoregulatory canal. This is the second species of proteocephalidean cestode collected in P. ornatus.
