Abstract. Sixteen labrid species, including four Bodianus spp., were examined in New Caledonia (South Pacific) and monogeneans were found only on Bodianus perditio (Quoy et Gaimard). This species, Haliotrema banana sp. n., is the second Haliotrema species to be described from the labrids, the first being Haliotrema bodiani Yamaguti, 1968 from Bodianus albotaeniatus (Valenciennes), previously designated as B. bilunulatus (Lacépède). The new species is similar to H. bodiani in soft reproductive parts but differs from it in the morphologies of the hard haptoral parts, mainly in the shape of the dorsal bar (bar-shaped vs Vshaped in H. bodiani) and ventral bar. It is similar to Haliotrema spirale Yamaguti, 1968 and Haliotrema minutospirale Yamaguti, 1968 in the shape of the anchors and bars but differs from them in the detailed structures of the copulatory organ and vaginal system.The family Labridae includes fishes commonly known as wrasses and is the second largest family of fish after Gobiidae with 68 genera and 453 species (Randall 2005). In New Caledonia alone, 114 species have been recorded (Fricke and Kulbicki 2006). Although the Labridae includes many aquarium fish species, records of monogeneans from labrids are rare and thus far only two species of ancyrocephalids belonging to two genera, two species of capsalids from two genera and one species of microcotylid have been recorded. The two ancyrocephalids are Haliotrema bodiani Yamaguti, 1968 Yamaguti 1968, Radujkovic and Euzet 1989, Whittington and Horton 1996, Treasurer 1997, Whittington et al. 2001.In the present investigation monogeneans belonging to Haliotrema Johnston et Tiegs, 1922 were collected from goldspot hogfish, Bodianus perditio (Quoy et Gaimard). This new species is the second species of Haliotrema to be described from a Bodianus species and the third ancyrocephalid species described from a labrid species. MATERIALS AND METHODSSpecimens of the labrids were caught with hand lines on board R/V "Coris" in various places off the barrier reef, Nouméa, New Caledonia at a distance of about 20-30 km from the shore, in depths of 20-40 m. Live fishes were kept in a container with sea water and immediately brought back to the laboratory. Gills were extracted and examined in sea water under a dissecting microscope. Live monogeneans were individually picked up from the gills with fine needles and immediately processed. Some monogeneans were flattened on a slide under a coverslip with a light weight on top and fixed in 70% ethanol. These were later stained in carmine as given in Justine (2005). A few specimens were prepared with ammonium picrate glycerine. Some specimens were collected from formalin-fixed gills of B. perditio and monogeneans were fixed and cleared in ammonium picrate glycerine. Some of these ammonium picrate glycerine fixed specimens were washed several times in distilled water to remove the fixative and then stained in Gomori's triple stain. The monogeneans were drawn with a microscope equipped with a camera lucida. Drawings were scanned ...

“…The main differences are larger specimens, accessory sclerites are larger and slight differences in the shape of the anterior hamuli in the Japanese specimens. In the recent revision of Benedenia by Whittington et al (2001), it was concurred that the species collected by Roubal et al (1983) and by Sharples and Evans (1995) as B. sekii. According to Whittington and Deveney (2011), there are 27 species under the genus Benedenia.…”

“…Benedenia sekii was identified based on Whittington et al (2001) and Yamaguti (1937). It can be distinguished from other species by a combination of the following characters: broad body; tiny anterior and posterior hamuli relative to accessory sclerites; all median sclerites located posteriorly on haptor; details of marginal valve; long thin penis; and close proximity of common genital pore and vaginal pore.…”

Abstract:Two new species of entobdelline (capsalid) monogeneans are described from the skin of Australian dasyatid stingrays, namely Neoentobdella cribbi sp. n., a small parasite from the estuarine stingray, Dasyatis fl uviorum Ogilby (Elasmobranchii: Dasyatidae) and Neoentobdella baggioi sp. n., a relatively large parasite from the porcupine ray, Urogymnus asperrimus (Bloch et Schneider) (Elasmobranchii: Dasyatidae). A striking feature of both of these new parasite species is a pad, possibly located within the genital atrium, armed with rows of closely spaced, rod-shaped microsclerites. Both species also possess a muscular papilla in the genital tract and a club-shaped structure near the common genital opening on the left lateral margin of the body. In N. cribbi, the latter feature is large and located anterior to the genital pad and in N. baggioi, it is small and located in a more posterior position. Similar embellishments in the genital area occur in N. natans Kearn et Whittington, 2005 Neoentobdella spp. are entobdelline (capsalid) monogeneans living on the skin of stingrays (Elasmobranchii). While examining freshly caught estuary stingrays, Dasyatis fl uviorum Ogilby (Dasyatidae) off Stradbroke Island, Queensland, Australia, Dr. Tom Cribb (University of Queensland) found several entobdelline monogeneans on the ventral surfaces and kindly donated these specimens to us. Entobdelline monogeneans were also collected from another dasyatid, namely the porcupine ray, Urogymnus asperrimus (Bloch et Schneider) (Dasyatidae), collected on Sudbury Reef, an inshore reef south-east of Cairns, Queensland, Australia by staff of Cairns Marine Aquarium Fish, Cairns. These parasites were collected by Mr. Julian Baggio (Senior Aquarist at this facility) and sent to us for study. A preliminary examination revealed novel anatomical features indicating that the parasites had not previously been described and prompted us to study their anatomy in detail. MATERIALS AND METHODSParasites preserved in 10% formalin were later stained with Semichon's carmine or left unstained. The specimens were dehydrated in an ethanol series, cleared in cedarwood oil and mounted in Canada balsam. Whole mounts were studied using a compound microscope equipped with phase contrast optics. Measurements, made using a calibrated ocular micrometer, were restricted to unfolded, fl attened specimens, are presented in micrometres as the mean followed by the range in parentheses and the number of measurements taken. Where measurements are presented in paired sets separated by a multiplication sign, the fi rst is length and the second is width. Haptoral terminology for capsalids follows Whittington et al. (2001).
