The article focuses on the geographic distribution and new host records of digenea species Acanthogalea gibsoni in the state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. It notes that digenea were cold fixed in alcohol, formalin and acetic acid (AFA) under the light cover glass pressure. It notes that its finding in Balistes vetula and Epinephelus nigritus from the littoral of the state represents new hosts recods, increasing its distribution to South America.
