The presence of the sea leech, Stibarobdella macrothela (Schmarda, 1861) (Hirudinea, Piscicolidae), is marked in the south coast of Brazil, based on the single specimen with 67 mm (CT), collected in the intergill ventral region of a whaler shark, Carcharhinus brachyurus (Günther, 1870) (Chondrichtyes, Carcharhinidae), adult male with about 2 m (CT), being treated of the first registrations of S. macrothela in the Southwest Atlantic and the parasitic association with C. brachyurus.
基于在一条成年雄性约2米（曲线测量）的短尾真鲨（Carcharhinus brachyurus，冈瑟，1870年）（软骨鱼纲，真鲨科）鳃间腹侧区域采集到的一个67毫米（曲线测量）的单一样本，确认巴西南海岸存在海蛭巨蛭（Stibarobdella macrothela，施马尔达，1861年）（蛭纲，鱼蛭科），这是巨蛭在西南大西洋的首次记录以及与短尾真鲨的寄生关联。
