(Dactylogyridae, Ancyrocephalinae) from the gills of the anostomid fishesLeporinus friderici, Leporinus amblyrhynchus and Leporinus elongatus from two freshwater ecosystems in the south east of Brazil. This new species is mainly characterized by the morphology of the copulatory complex (such as the MCO base formed by two fan-shaped structures, and accessory piece flattened, curved, rigid and channeled), a dorsal anchor with a well-developed superficial and inconspicuous deep root, and the shape of the accessory anchor sclerite with small spathulate termination. Tereancistrum flabellum n. sp. is the first record of a dactylogyrid from L. amblyrhynchus. The description of Tereancistrum parvus is also emended to correct and complement previous descriptions and the species is reported for the first time inSchizodon nasutus. Key words: Ancyrocephalinae, anostomid fish, gill ectoparasites, monogeneans, Neotropical region. INTRODUCTION Leporinus Agassiz, 1829 is the most diverse genus among anostomids, with 87 species, while The Anostomidae Günther, 1864 family includes the Schizodon Agassiz, 1829 genus is represented fish species that are widely distributed from by 14 species (Nelson 2006). Some larger members southern Central America to tropical and sub- of Leporinus and Schizodon are known for their temperate regions of South America (Nelson 2006). Many anostomid species are recognized by spawn migrations in the Paraná-Paraguay river their habit of feeding in an inclined position, and system and in the Amazon and Orinoco basins. constitute a significant part of the fish biomass in Because of their annual migrations, these species are different aquatic habitats (Garavello and Britski subjected to significant exploitation by commercial 2003). and subsistence fisheries as an important food source for the people of South America (Garavello Correspondence to: Aline Cristina Zago E-mail: [email protected] and Britski 2003).
