| Popis: | The Humboldt Current Large Marine Ecosystem (HCLME) is recognised as one of the largest and most productive marine ecosystems. The estimated number of teleost fish species for the Chilean coast influenced by the HCLME reaches c.1,030 but digeneans have been reported for 39 teleost species, i.e. less than 4% of the potential hosts. During a survey of parasites of the Galapagos sheephead wrasse Semicossyphus darwini (Jennyns) (Perciformes: Labridae) from off northern Chile, we obtained representatives of three digenean species, Helicometrina nimia Linton, 1910 (Opecoelidae), Proctoeces humboldti George-Nascimento & Quiroga, 1983 (Fellodistomidae) and Labrifer secundus Manter, 1940 (Lepidapedidae). Labrifer secundus, originally described from Semicossyphus pulcher (Ayres, 1854) off the coast of Baja California, Mexico is re-described. Helicometrina nimia is a common parasite from littoral fishes in the HCLME. Semicossyphus darwini is a new host for these three digenean species. |
