Dc. Kritsky et al., NEOTROPICAL MONOGENOIDEA .28. ANCYROCEPHALINAE (DACTYLOGYRIDAE) OF PIRANHA AND THEIR RELATIVES (TELEOSTEI, SERRASALMIDAE) FROM BRAZIL AND FRENCH-GUIANA - SPECIES OF NOTOZOTHECIUM BOEGER AND KRITSKY, 1988, AND MYMAROTHECIUM GEN-N, Journal of the Helminthological Society of Washington, 63(2), 1996, pp. 153-175
Seven species (5 new) of Notozothecium and 4 new species of Mymarothec
ium are described and/or reported from the gills of 13 species of Serr
asalmidae from the Brazilian Amazon and 1 serrasalmid from French Guia
na: N. bethae sp. n. from Myleus pacu and M. rhomboidalis; N. euzeti s
p. n. from Acnodon normani; N. foliolum sp. n. from Pristobrycon sp.;
N. minor from Pygocentrus nattereri, Serrasalmus elongatus, S. rhombeu
s, S. spilopleura, and Serrasalmus sp. (2n = 58); N. penetrarum from P
ygocentrus nattereri; N. robustum sp. n. from Pristobrycon striolatus;
N. teinodendrum sp. n. from Pristobrycon eigenmanni, Pristobrycon sp.
, Serrasalmus elongatus, S. gouldingi, S. manuelli, S. rhombeus, and S
errasalmus sp. (2 of Jegu); Mymarothecium dactylotum sp. n. from Prist
obrycon sp., Serrasalmus rhombeus, Serrasalmus sp. (2 of Jegu), and Se
rrasalmus sp. (2n = 58); M. galeolum sp. n. from Pristobrycon eigenman
ni, Pristobrycon sp., Pygocentrus nattereri, Serrasalmus gouldingi, an
d S. rhombeus; M. perplanum sp. n. from S. spilopleura; and M. whittin
gtoni sp. n. from Serrasalmus rhombeus, S. spilopleura, and Serrasalmu
s sp. (2n = 58). The generic diagnosis of Notozothecium is emended, an
d Mymarothecium gen. n. is proposed for species with an expanded nonsc
lerotized vagina opening on the right side of the trunk, an anteromedi
al projection on the ventral bar, and a hooked termination of the arti
culation process of the accessory piece.
