Dactylogyrids (Platyhelminthes: Monogenea) from Sudanese Labeo Spp., with a Description of Dogielius Sennarensis n. Sp. and a Redescription of Dogielius Flosculus Guégan, Lambert & Euzet, 1989
Dactylogyrid monogeneans of Labeo horie Heckel, 1847 and L . niloticus (Linnaeus, 1758) (Cyprinidae) were surveyed at two sites on the River Nile in Sudan. The present study reports the presence of ten species of Dactylogyrus Diesing, 1850 and three species of Dogielius Bychowsky, 1936 based on a mo...

Zusammenfassung: | Dactylogyrid monogeneans of
Labeo horie
Heckel, 1847 and
L
.
niloticus
(Linnaeus, 1758) (Cyprinidae) were surveyed at two sites on the River Nile in Sudan. The present study reports the presence of ten species of
Dactylogyrus
Diesing, 1850 and three species of
Dogielius
Bychowsky, 1936 based on a morphometric evaluation of the sclerotised structures. The species found include:
Dactylogyrus nathaliae
Guégan, Lambert & Euzet, 1988
;
D
.
rastellus
Guégan, Lambert & Euzet, 1988
;
D
.
retroversus
Guégan, Lambert & Euzet, 1988
;
D
.
senegalensis
Paperna, 1969
,
D
.
yassensis
Musilová, Řehulková & Gelnar, 2009
and five other undescribed species of
Dactylogyrus
. The genus
Dogielius
was represented by
Dogielius flosculus
Guégan, Lambert & Euzet, 1989
; the newly identified
D
.
sennarensis
n. sp., and one undescribed
Dogielius
species. While
D
.
sennarensis
n. sp. resembles
D
.
intorquens
, it differs from this species and other congeners by having a longer ventral bar and anchor points and nosclerotised vagina. In addition, this study redescribes
D
.
flosculus
based on the morphology of specimens collected from
L
.
horie
. All specimens studied had a single large vagina, in contrast to the original description which reported a vagina composed of two unconnected parts. All dactylogyrid species in this study represent new host and geographical records. |
