Neotropical Monogenoidea. 21. Trinigyrus mourei sp.n. (Dactylogyridae) from the gills of the Amazonian catfish Hypostomus marginatus (Loricariidae)

Abstract

Trinigyrus mourei sp. n. (Dactylogyridae) is described from an Amazonian armoured catfish, Hypostomus emarginatus (Loricariidae) in Brazil. The new species closely resembles T. hypostomatis HANEK, MOLNAR & FERNANDO, 1974, from which it differs mainly by having: 1) a more robust copulatory organ; 2) a non-articulated accessory piece; and 3) comparatively longer haptoral appendages
