    Abstract:
    Cardicola ambrosioi n. sp. (Digenea: Sanguinicolidae) is found in the blood vessels of liver and gills of the Brazilian flathead, Percophis brasiliensis Quoy and Gaimard, 1824 (Pisces: Percophidae), from Mar del Plata, Argentina. Among the 13 known species within Cardicola Short, 1953, the new species closely resembles Cardicola coridodacis Manter, 1954, from which it is distinguished by having a relatively shorter oesophagus, the vitellaria extending anteriorly to the nerve commissure, rather than to the end of anterior caeca, the female pore located closer to male pore, the latter situated medially instead of laterally and by possessing a larger Mehlis gland and a smaller seminal vesicle.
