Abstract
A parasitological survey searching dactylogyrids (Monogenea) infesting the gills of Peruvian marine fish was carried out during the 2015-2016 period. The gills of three teleosts species, 12 Hemanthias peruanus (Steindachner), 16 Hemanthias signifer (Garman) (Serranidae) and 4 Scarus perrico Jordan & Gilbert (Scaridae), were sampled. A new species of Hal-iotrema and two new species of Parancylodiscoides were described: Haliotrema sanchezae n. sp. from S. perrico, Paran-cylodiscoides peruensis n. sp. from H. peruanus and P. signiferi n. sp. from H. signifer. Haliotrema sanchezae n. sp. differs from other congeneric species by its male copulatory organ (tapered-shaped cirrus tube, with cylinder-shaped base and a membranous, blanket-shaped accessory piece), and the morphology of its transverse bars (X-shaped ventral bar and mask-shaped dorsal bar). Parancylodiscoides peruensis n. sp. differs from all other members of Parancylodiscoides by having a tapered-shaped copulatory organ with curved distal tip and a bell-shaped base having two lateral knobs and short arm. Parancylodiscoides signiferi n. sp. can be differentiated from its congeners by its male copulatory organ, which has tubular-shaped with a loop at distal end and a slightly expanded base having a short and broad arm. Present findings are added to the other 3 marine dactylogyrid previously reported from Peru.
