Abstract:
A new endoparasitic monogenean of Paradiplectanotrema (Gerasev, Gayevskaya & Kovaleva, 1987), Paradiplectanotrema klimpeli sp. nov., is described from the southern Balinese coast, Indonesia. The new species is much larger, wider and characterized by the longest dorsal
anchors compared with the congeners. Ventral anchors and ventral bars are the smallest in
the genus, with a distinct ratio of 1:1. This is the first species with a gladiator breastplate shaped dorsal bar, with a length:width ratio of 1:1. Oesophagi of the Common Grinner
Saurida tumbil (Bloch, 1795) (Synodontidae) were infected (prevalence = 17%) at an intensity
of 12 (1–21). This is the first record of the genus from the eastern Indian Ocean, and lizardfishes represent a new host family. We provide light microscopy (in situ in oesophagal folds), three-dimensional confocal illustrations and a morphometric comparison of all congeners,
with remarks on the recently described first Indonesian endoparasitic Monogenea
Pseudempleurosoma haywardi (Theisen, Palm, Al-Jufaili & Kleinertz, 2017). First 28S DNA
sequences for Paradiplectanotrema allocate the new species close to endoparasitc freshwater
monogeneans. Its ecology differs from Pseudempleurosoma (Yamaguti, 1965) by utilizing
deep-water fishes instead of coastal, coral reef-associated hosts; however, both are infecting
schooling, bottom-dwelling fishes. Ansprechpartner
