This article presents a checklist of metazoan parasites of snakes from Argentina, along with a comprehensive review of the relevant literature published between 1922 and June 2023, covering various aspects of interest. We compiled 34 species of metazoan endoparasites from 28 studies. The subclass Digenea showed the highest number of species (n = 22 species), followed by the phylum Nematoda (n = 8 species), and the subclass Pentastomida (n = 3 species and 1 taxa inquirenda). Dipsadidae was the family of snakes with the most species examined for metazoan endoparasites (n = 20 species). In contrast, Viperidae had the largest number of specimens surveyed (n = 343). Of 23 provinces, 15 (65.2%) presented at least one report of metazoan endoparasites in snakes. The northeastern provinces showed the highest richness of metazoan endoparasites and host diversity. Many articles focused on taxonomy, but studies on parasite ecology were not found. Although taxonomic accuracy was high in most reports, some records were correctly deposited in zoological collections or geo-referenced. This is the first attempt to include all groups of metazoan endoparasites of snakes from Argentina in a single checklist in the last century.

Investigations were carried out on the seasonal population fluctuations of the moth Cydia ptychora. The population increased from May to September and declined from November to April. Increasing temperatures and decreasing r.h. appeared to be associated with population decline, while the reverse seemed to favour population increase.

From light trap catches, sex ratios of adults showed considerable variation from month to month. The overall ratio was 2:1, in favour of the males, but there was a tendency for adjustment towards an apparently female-biased ratio from March to August.

Bracon (?) hancocki was found to be a major parasite. Other biotic factors contributing to population regulation included 13 hymenopterous parasites and three predators (Philodicus temerarius, Bactria sp. nr. guineensis and Chrysopa sp.)
