Abstract
We describe a new ancyrocephalid monogenean, Haliotrema cupensis n. sp ., from a marine gobiid, Gobius cobitis (Pallas) from the Mediterranea n Sea. This species differs from the other members of the genus by the morphology of the penis and accessory piece, the haptoral ornamentati on and by possessing a larger testis. This is the first report of an a ncyrocephalid on a marine gobiid and of a Haliotrema species in the Me diterranean Sea.
