title: Expanded description of Dolops bidentata (Bouvier, 1899) (Branchiura: Argulidae) based on specimens collected on Pygocentrus nattereri Kner, 1858 (Characiformes) from Poconé Wetland, MT, Brazil.
abstract: The current information on the branchiuran Dolops bidentata, a species described more one hundred years ago, is valid but incomplete; hence, an expanded description is given herein. Additional morphological information was obtained by light and scanning electron microscopy from specimens collected on Pygocentrus nattereri from the Poconé Wetland, MT, Brazil. Description of the appendages and other structures such as respiratory area, mouth, details and ornamentation of antennules and maxillae are provided for the first time.
