Abstract:

A survey of monogeneans from freshwater fishes of Peninsular Malaysia was undertaken to investigate their diversity and host distribution patterns. Eighteen known monogean genera and one underscribed monogenean belonging to five families were collected from 63 species of fishes. The eighteen known genera are Dactylogyrus, Dactylogyroides, Dogielus, Silurodiscoides, Cornudiscoides, Bifucohaptor, Malayanodiscoides, Notoptero discoides, Bychowskyella, Quadriancanthus, Ancyrocephalus (s.l.), Ancyrocephalus, Heteronchocleidus, Trianchoratus, Eutrianchoratus, Sundanonchus, Gyrodactylus and Paradiplozoon. The majority of these monogeneans are restricted either to a particular host species, genus, family or even order, although some monogeans have broader host amplitude.
