Abstract
Macrouridophora halargyrea n. sp. (Monogenea: Diclidophoridae) is desc ribed from the gills of the morid teleost Halargyreus johnsonii caught off the Faroe Islands in the North-eastern Atlantic. This new species is differentiated from ten other species in the genus Macrouridophora Rubec and Dronen, in press, by its: specialised heart-shaped haptor d istinctly set-off from the body proper; inverted orientation of the fi rst three anterior pairs of clamps; distinct spinulation covering the isthmus and haptor; small body size; small numbers of testes; and host .
