“…It is also important to highlight the activity of researchers from UFRRJ in several studies on the ecology of parasites from fish (Amarante et al ., 2015; Soares & Luque, 2015), which is a subject equally explored by the research group from the Laboratory of Ichthyoparasitology, UEM, State of Paraná (southern Brazil) (Bellay et al ., 2015a, b). Also in Paraná, the group formed by researchers from the Department of Zoology of the UFPR, have produced one of the most impressive collections of literature on the morphological and molecular taxonomy of monogeneans (Boeger et al ., 2014b, 2015).…”

Helminth parasites of South American fishes: current status and characterization as a model for studies of biodiversity

The South American subcontinent supports one of the world's most diverse and commercially very important ichthyofauna. In this context, the study of South American fish parasites is of increased relevance in understanding their key roles in ecosystems, regulating the abundance or density of host populations, stabilizing food webs and structuring host communities. It is hard to estimate the number of fish parasites in South America. The number of fish species studied for parasites is still low (less than 10%), although the total number of host-parasite associations (HPAs) found in the present study was 3971. Monogeneans, with 835 species (1123 HPAs, 28.5%), and trematodes, with 662 species (1127 HPAs, 30.9%), are the more diverse groups. Data gathered from the literature are useful to roughly estimate species richness of helminths from South American fish, even though there are some associated problems: the reliability of information depends on accurate species identification; the lack of knowledge about life cycles; the increasing number of discoveries of cryptic species and the geographically biased number of studies. Therefore, the closest true estimations of species diversity and distribution will rely on further studies combining both molecular and morphological approaches with ecological data such as host specificity, geographical distribution and life-cycle data. Research on biodiversity of fish parasites in South America is influenced by problems such as funding, taxonomic impediments and dispersion of research groups. Increasing collaboration, interchange and research networks in the context of globalization will enable a promising future for fish parasitology in South America.

Furcohaptor brevis n. sp. is described from the gills of Cynoglossus robustus Günther caught in the Seto Inland Sea off Hiroshima Prefecture, Japan. Although Furcohaptor Bijukumar & Kearn, 1996 has been assigned to the Ancyrocephalinae Bychowsky, 1937 in the Dactylogyridae Bychowsky, 1933, this genus is transferred to the Diplectaninae Monticelli, 1903 in the Diplectanidae Monticelli, 1903 based on both morphological and molecular data. An amended generic diagnosis is provided.

A catalogue of type material of monogenoids deposited in the Helminthological Collection of the Oswaldo Cruz Institute, FIOCRUZ (CHIOC), between 1979 and 2016, is presented, given that the last list of types was produced in 1979. The monogenoid collection comprises type lots for 203 species, distributed across 14 families and 68 genera. Specific names are listed systematically, followed by type host, infection site, type locality, specimens with the collection numbers and references. The classification and the nomenclature of the species have been updated.
