Resumen:
Centrorhynchus microcephalus (Bravo-Hollis, 1947) Golvan, 1956 (Acanthocephala: Centrorhynchidae) originally was described as Gordiorhynchus microcephalus Bravo-Hollis, 1947 on the basis of 8 worms collected from the small intestine of a single great-tailed grackle (Quiscalus mexicanus) from the state of Puebla, Mexico. Acquisition of 48 specimens collected from the groove-billed ani (Crotophaga sulcirostris) in Tlacotalpan, Veracruz, Mexico permitted a more complete description of the species. Nine of 10(90%) birds examined were infected with 2-13 individuals of Centrorhynchus microcephalus with a mean intensity of 5.3. Examination of the type material of Centrorhynchus crotophagicola Schmidt and Neiland, 1966 revealed this species, described from groove-billed anis and squirrel cuckoos (Piaya cayana) from Nicaragua, to be conspecific with C. microcephalus; thus, C. crotophagicola is considered a junior synonym of C. microcephalus. Centrorhynchus microcephalus is redescribed on the ba
