Prosthorhynchus
Prosthorhynchus Kostylew, 1915 contains many species:
P. cylindraceus was found infesting the Austral thrush (Turdus falcklandii ) in central Chile .[ 4] [ 5] P. cylindraceus to be a parasite that infects an intermediate host, the terrestrial isopod Armadillidium vulgare , which alters its behavior and becomes more susceptible to P. cylindraceus' primary host, the European starling (Sturnus vulgaris ).
