[Study of communities of Monogenea Dactylogyridae parasites of the Cyprinidae in Lake Mikri Prespa (northern Greece). Description of 3 new species from an endemic Barbus: Barbus cyclolepis prespensis Karaman, 1924].
In this paper are described 17 species of Monogenea Dactylogyridae, parasites of Cyprinidae from lake Mikri Prespa, in Greece: 14 species have been already reported in mediterranean region; 3 new species have been harvested on an endemic Barbus, B. cyclolepis prespensis, Dactylogyrus balkanicus n. sp., Dactylogyrus crivellius n. sp., Dactylogyrus prespensis n. sp. For these communities of Dactylogyrus, we discuss some problems of parasite specificity, speciation and biogeography. From the morphological types, we suggest for D. crivellius and D. prespensis an allopatric speciation and for D. balkanicus, a synxenic sympatric speciation.
