C. nahuelhuapensis was found in the intestine of the
rufous-legged owl (Strix rufipes) in
Patagonia,
Argentina. The proboscis is armed with 31–33 rows of hooks 16 or 17 hooks per row. The hooks in each row are distributed into 5 true hooks, 4 transitional hooks, and 7–8 spiniform hooks. It has three cement glands. The worm has a
filiform body. Phylogenetic analysis was conducted using the small and large ribosomal subunits confirming the placement of this species in the genus Centrorhynchus.[4]
^A
binomial authority in parentheses indicates that the species was originally described in a genus other than the present genus.
