A total of 25 specimens Caparari Pseudoplatystoma fasciatum were collected in four points of the high Xingu river sector, between April 2010 and July 2011. Two new locality records of Argulidae crustaceans are presented for Argulus pestifer and Dolops discoidalis. A new monogenetic specie was proposed, registered and studied in details. Demidospermus n. sp. differs from the other congenerics, because the anchors exhibit folds, variable forms, and deep roots not defined. Demidospermus sp. n. also exhibits a thickened ventral bar, straight or slightly curved anteriorly, with the extended Extremities, and with the Presence or Absence of an above-median keel. The dorsal bar is variable in form, straight and slender, with Presence or Absence of an above-median depression and tapered Extremities. The hooks are different in size and form, the first and second pairs have the tip and the shaft lightly curved, protuberant and truncated thumb, and the rod is dilated and tapered in proximal region. Hooks different in size and shape, 1-2 pairs: blade point and slightly curved or curved, thumb protruding, truncate, dilated or slender rod, tapered proximally, showing or not bulbs at the proximal end; the pairs 3-4-6-7: point slightly bent, curved or straight blade almost straight or moderately curved, thumb truncated or depressed, moderately dilated or slender rod, presented a bulb at the proximal end; The male copulatory organ (MCO) is variable in shape, with a convolute tube in the counterclockwise, and flaps that connect themselves on a sclerotized edge. Male copulatory organ (MCO), with variable shape, like a coiled tube, varying the number of rings in a counterclockwise direction, with tabs that connect to a margin esclerotizada or G-shaped, with a ring in order counterclockwise, showing a dilated base margin esclerotizada developed, from which protrudes a flap. The accessory piece, with variable shape, slightly concave or concave, the distal tapered, curved or slightly curved, serving as a guide to the MCO, the presence or absence of spines on the proximal end. The vagina has a bag-shaped vestibule connected or not to the vaginal channel through an annulated narrow. The study will can contribute to future research, in order to improve our knowledge about the parasite fauna of aquatic organisms in the Amazon region.
