Two new species of the genus Gyrodactylus (Monogenea) from the fins of Leuciscus cephalus (L.).
Gyrodactylus kearni sp. n. and G. lamberti sp. n. (Monogenea: Gyrodactylidae) are described from the fins of the freshwater fish, Leuciscus cephalus (L.) (Cyprinidae), from the Rokytná River and Stĕpánovický Brook (basin of the River Danube), Czechoslovakia, G. kearni sp. n. is most related to G. leucisci Zitnan, 1964 in the shape and size of marginal hooks, but can be separated from it in the shape of anchors and ventral bar. G. lamberti sp. n. is most closely related to G. gobii Shulman, 1953 and G. truttae Glser, 1974 in the shape of the complex of anchors, but differs markedly from them in the shape of the hook proper of marginal hooks.
