1. Capillaria obsignata Madsen, 1945 is described from the small intestine of the Black Swan ( Cygnus atratus ) for the first time. 2. The description of C. obsignata from the Black Swan is compared with the descriptions of C. anseris Madsen, 1945, C. droummondi Travassos, 1915 and C. obsignata from the domestic fowl, and it is concluded that C. anseris and C. droummondi are synonyms of C. obsignata. 3. Capillaria anatis and Trichostrongylus tennis are recorded from the Black Swan as new host records.
