Popis: | Parasite biodiversity of fish in Arunachal Pradesh of northeast India is still unexplored. We describe here a new species of Dogielius (Monogenea: Dactylogyridae) from the gill filaments of Garra annandalei(Cyprinidae), collected from the River Kael, Arunachal Pradesh. Dogielius kaelensis n. sp. is distinguished from its congeners by two key features: (i) a robust ventral bar with a medial part twisted forward, and ii) an accessory piece with a ring to help guide the copulatory tube. This is only the second time a member of the genus Dogielius has been found parasitizing a Garra species. |
