Abstract
Gyrodactylus sommervillae n. sp. (Monogenea) is described from the skin, fi ns and gills of Abramis brama (L.) and Rutilus rutilus (L.) from Blenheim P alace Lake, Oxfordshire, UK. G. sommervillae n. sp, closely resembles G. ap hyae Malmberg, 1957, G. kearni Ergens, 1990 and G. lamberti Ergens, 1990 in the approximate shape of the marginal hook sickle and the anchors, but can be separated on the precise shape of the marginal hooks and the ventral ba r.
