Description de deux nouvelles espèces de Lamellodiscus Johnston & Tiegs, 1922 (Monogenea: Diplectanidae) du groupe morphologique 'ignoratus', parasites de Diplodus sargus et D. vulgaris (Teleostei: Sparidae).

The study of the diplectanid gill parasites of Diplodus Rafinesque (Teleostei: Sparidae) from off the Algerian coast revealed the presence of several species of Lamellodiscus Johnston & Tiegs, 1922 on D. sargus (Linnaeus) and D. vulgaris (Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire). Some of these species differ from the others by having a copulatory organ "en lyre" and lamellodiscs of the morphological group 'ignoratus' of Oliver (1987). In Lamellodiscus, the subgroup 'ignoratus', proposed by Amine & Euzet (2005), characterised by a simple lateral dorsal bar, includes L. ignoratus Palombi, 1943 and L. fraternus Bychowsky, 1957. Two new species, L. falcus n. sp. and L. neifari n. sp. form part of the 'ignoratus' subgroup. These species are distinguished by the morphology and the size of the sclerotised parts of the haptor and copulatory organ.

[Lamellodiscus sanfilippoi n. sp. (Monogenea, Diplectanidae) parasite from the gills of Diplodus sargus (Teleostei, Sparidae) in Mediterranean Sea].

Lamellodiscus sanfilippoi n. sp. takes place, among the other species of Lamellodiscus, in the "ergensi" sub-group (Amine et Euzet, 2005) characterized by the morphology of the dorsal lateral bars of the haptor. This sub-group comprises, in the Mediterranean, L. ergensi Euzet and Oliver, 1966, L. kechemirae Amine and Euzet, 2005, L. tomentosus Amine and Euzet, 2005, all parasite of Diplodus sargus, and L. baeri Oliver, 1974 parasite of Pagrus pagrus. L. sanfilippoi can be distinguished from the previous species by the morphology and size of the dorsal lateral bars. The new species is close to Lamellodiscus furcillatus Kritsky, Jiménez-Ruiz and Sey, 2000, a parasite of Diplodus noct in the Persian Gulf, but differs by the size of the haptoral sclerotised pieces and the morphology of the male copulatory apparatus. Lamellodiscus gussevi Sanfilippo (1978) et Lamellodiscus abbreviatus Sanfilippo (1978) are considered as nomina nuda.

[In progress citation].

During a study of the gill parasites (Monogenea) of two species of Diplodus Rafinesque (Sparidae), D. sargus (Linnaeus) and D. vulgaris (Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire) from off the Algerian coast, several species of the family Diplectanidae Bychowsky, 1957 and genus Lamellodiscus Johnston & Tiegs, 1922 were collected. We present a redescription of L. ergensi Euzet & Oliver, 1966 and describe two new species, L. kechemirae n. sp. and L. tomentosus n. sp. These new species are close to L. ergensi but differ in the morphology and size of both the haptoral sclerites and the male genital system. On the basis of the dorsal lateral bars of the haptor, we suggest the recognition within the group 'ignoratus' of Oliver (1987) of two subgroups, 'ignoratus' (sensu stricto), with simple dorsal bars, and 'ergensi', with complex bars which are more or less divided in two parts. We also present a redescription of L. baeri Oliver, 1974, collected from the sparid Pagrus pagrus (Linnaeus) (the type-host) and allocate it to the 'ergensi' subgroup. All of these species of Lamellodiscus are reported from sparids off the Algerian coasts for the first time.
