Morphological and molecular analyses of Pseudomazocraes sulamericana n. sp., Pseudomazocraes selene Hargis, 1957, Cemocotyle carangis (MacCallum, 1913) and Zeuxapta seriolae (Meserve, 1938) (Monogenea: Mazocraeidea) from carangid fishes in the south-western Atlantic Ocean.

Journal of Helminthology 2019 Februrary 5
An integrative taxonomy approach was followed to analyse morphological and molecular characters of the monogenean species Pseudomazocraes selene, Cemocotyle carangis and Zeuxapta seriolae; specimens were collected from the gills of the carangid fishes Selene vomer, Caranx latus and Seriola lalandi caught off the coasts of the states of Rio de Janeiro and Santa Catarina, Brazil. The research revealed the presence of Pseudomazocraes sulamericana n. sp., which can be differentiated from other congeners by the shape of clamps mid-sclerite possessing a ventral piece bifurcated at the end, with large and right-angled edges of almost the same length, and by the shape of larval hooks and rounded terminal lappet. New genetic sequences include partial 28S and 18S rDNA genes for all species, ITS1 and 5.8S rDNA for Zeuxapta seriolae and Cemocotyle carangis, and ITS2 and mtDNA cox1 for C. carangis. The phylogenetic concatenated analysis based on partial 28S rDNA and 18S rDNA sequences confirmed the position of C. carangis and Z. seriolae within the Heteraxinidae. The previous phylogenetic position of Chauhaneidae was discussed based on morphological studies and it is now confirmed by molecular data that Chauhaneidae is the sister group of Allodiscocotylidae and Protomicrocotylidae.
