Title

Peruanocotyle pelagica n. sp. (Monogenea: Monocotylidae), parasite of the Pacific cownose ray Rhinoptera steindachneri Evermann and Jenkins, 1891 (Batoidea: Rhinopteridae) from the Southern Mexican Pacific Ocean

Abstract

Peruanocotyle pelagica n. sp. is described based on specimens collected from the wall of the pharyngeal cavity of the Pacific cownose ray Rhinoptera steindachneri offshore Oaxaca and Guerrero, Mexico. The new species is distinguished from Peruanocotyle chisholmae by its anchors, which include a slender guard that curves towards the tip of the blade and which lack an accessory piece, morphological differences of the seminal vesicle, the lack of a male copulatory organ accessory piece and a greater number of spines, and an unsclerotized vagina. Molecular data of Peruanocotyle pelagica were generated to place the phylogenetic position of the genus within Monocotylidae.
