Abstract

Cynoscionicola veranoi n. sp. (Monogenea: Microcotylidae) is described based on specimens collected from the gills of lorna drum Sciaena deliciosa (Tschudi, 1846) (Sciaenidae) from Peru. The new species can be differentiated from the other congeneric species by the combination of the following characteristics: (1) haptor with two types of clamps, (2) number and shape of the spines in anterolateral pouches of genital atrium (10–11 curved spines and 3–4 short and bifid spines with a knob in each lateral margin), (3) number and shape of the spines in posterolateral pouches of genital atrium (13–18 bifid spines), (4) 4–6 small spherical unarmed pouches in the genital atrium, and (5) 10–15 testes. In addition, a redescription of Cynoscionicola americanusTantaleán, Martínez and Escalante, 1987 and Hargicotyle sciaenaeOliva and Luque, 1989 (Diclidophoridae) based on examination of type material and newly collected specimens from snakehead kingcroaker Menticirrhus ophicephalus (Jenyns, 1840) and S. deliciosa (type hosts), respectively, are provided herein.

Keywords: Monogenea; Cynoscionicola; Hargicotyle; Sciaenidae; Peru; Pacific Ocean
