In order to know its parasites a survey was conducted in three different localities in Santiago. The helminthes community was poor in species and only three nematodes species were found: Syphacia obvelata, Aspiculuris tetraptera and Physaloptera calnuensi. All these species constitutes the first record in Chile. This is also the first record of P. calnuensis in this host. Syphacia obvelata was the most abundant and the most prevalent.

A wealth of information is available on the diet of the Barn Owl (Tyro alba) in many regions of the world (Taylor 1994). Mammals, particularly rodents, are the most frequent food item (e.g.,Jaksic et al. 1982). Data are overwhelmingly from temperate regions; however, information from tropical localities is scanty (Marti et al. 1993). Here, we report on the diet of the Barn Owl from Beni, Bolivia, a tropical locality where bats are taken commonly as prey. Pellets were collected in May 1998 and 1999 at E1 Porvemr, the Operations Center of Reserva de la Biosfera Estac•6n Bio16gica Beni (14ø52'S, 66ø20'W; 200 masl). The landscape is a mosaic of small forest fragments distributed over a seasonally-inundated savanna (Herrera-MacBryde et al. 2000). Pellets were collected around an occupied nest in the attic of a small building. In May 1998, there were three cMcks and in 1999 there were five eggs in the nest, attended by a single adult on both occasions.
