Birds in the Huinay area, Los Lagos region, Chile, were studied for parasites. Here we report 2 new genera and species of the family Dilepididae ( Cyclophyllidea ) found in common local passerines: Janinellia peebeehi gen. n., sp. n. was found in Elaenia albiceps ( Tyrannidae ) and Huinaylepis elegans gen. n., sp. n. was found in Aphrastura spinicauda ( Furnariidae ). Other dilepidid parasites are reported for the first time from Xolmis pyrope ( Tyrannidae ) and from 2 species of Rhinocryptidae . Cotylorhipis sureshi Jadhav & Shinde, 1981 is considered a species inquirenda. The very high diversity and endemism of the observed cestode fauna in the Valdivian temperate rain forests is noted.
