Five new monogenean species from the gills of Mulloidichthys vanicolensis (Perciformes: Mullidae) off New Caledonia
Original language description
The yellowfin goatfish Mulloidichthys vanicolensis (Valenciennes, 1831) is found widely in tropical marine waters of the Indo-Pacific. Although it is valued as food fish in many countries, there are no reports on parasites from the species. Recently, wecollected numerous dactylogyrids from the gills of three fresh specimens of M. vanicolensis purchased at the fish market in Nouméa, New Caledonia. Examination of these monogeneans revealed the presence of five new species for which two new genera were proposed: Volsellituba n. gen. and Pennulituba n. gen. Volsellituba and Pennulituba resemble dactylogyrid genera whose species lack eye spots and possess tandem or slightly overlapping gonads, single prostatic reservoir, a copulatory organ without an accessory piece, a dextroventral non-sclerotised vagina, ventral and dorsal anchor/bar complexes, and hooks with shanks comprising one slender unit.
