The ectoparasites of Milvago c. chimango (Vieillot) in the Ñuble area were identified for qualitative and quantitative descriptive analyses. Three species of Phthiraptera were recorded (prevalences between parentheses): One Amblycera, Aquiligogus maculatus (Menoponidae – 100%), and two Ischnocera, Acutifrons vierai chimango (73.9 ± 9.2%) and Caracaricola chimangophilus (26.1 ± 9.2%) (both, Philopteridae). Moreover, three taxa of Acarina, Gabucinia sp. (Gabuciniidae – 69.6 ± 9.6%), Dubininia accipitrina (Xolalgidae – 52.2 ±10.4%), and mites belonging in Syringophilidae (39.1 ± 10.2%) were encountered. No species of Parasitiformes or Diptera were observed.
