Neotropical monogenoidea. 55. Dactylogyrids parasitising the pintado-amarelo Pimelodus maculatus Lacépède (Actinopterygii: Pimelodidae) from the Rio São Francisco, Brazil.
Eight species of Dactylogyridae were collected from the gills of the pintado-amarelo Pimelodus maculatus Lacépède in the Rio São Francisco in Brazil: Ameloblastella paranaensis (França, Isaac, Pavanelli & Takemoto, 2003) Mendoza-Franco & Scholz, 2009, A. satoi n. sp., Ameloblastella sp., Demidospermus armostus Kritsky & Gutiérrez, 1998, D. cf. bidiverticulatum (Suriano & Incorvaia, 1995) Kritsky & Gutiérrez, 1998, D. ichthyocercus n. sp., D. paravalenciennesi Gutiérrez & Suriano, 1992 and D. uncusvalidus Gutiérrez & Suriano, 1992. Two new species, A. satoi n. sp. and D. ichthyocercus n. sp., are described, and A. paranaensis is redescribed. The Rio São Francisco represents new geographical records for the five previously described dactylogyrid species.
