Abstract
Evaluation of comparative material, including type specimens, of 2 der ogenid species (Digenea: Derogenidae) in freshwater fishes of the fami lies Cichlidae and Pimelodidae in Mexico revealed the invalidity of Ge narchella luistoddi (Jimenez, Guajardo, and Briseno, 1981), a parasite of cichlid fishes in northern Mexico. This taxon is considered to be conspecific with Genarchella isabellae (Lamothe-Argumedo, 1977), origi nally described from the pimelodid Rhamdia guatemalensis (Gunther) and frequently occurring in cichlids of the genus Cichlasoma in southeast ern Mexico.
