There are three species of Pseudoplatystoma: P. corruscans, P. fasciatus and P. tigrinum. Twelve proteocephalid species wereknown from Pseudoplatystoma species from Amazon, Mato Grosso, Paraná and São Francisco rivers. The proteocephalid species are tabulated for each Pseudoplatystoma species. A key to identify the proteocephalids is presented, and when necessary, some comments on the species.
