Two species of Phthiraptera, Bovicola caprae (Ischnocera: Bovicolidae) and Solenopotes binipilosus (Anoplura: Linognathi-dae), and one species of mite, Psoroptes ovis (Acari: Psoroptidae), were recorded on huemul (Hippocamelus bisulcus) in Chile. The sucking louse S. binipilosus and the mite P. ovis are reported for the first time from this host.
