Description:
Three species of cichlid fish, Tilapia brevimanus Boulenger, 1911, T. buttikoferi (Hubrecht, 1881), and T. cessiana Thys van den Audenaerde, 1968, from Guinea, Ivory Coast and Sierra Leone (West Africa) were examined for gill parasites for the first time. Six species of Monogenea were found of which one, Cichlidogyrus digitatus Dossou, 1982, had been previously described. Five new species, all belonging to the genus Cichlidogyrus Papema, 1960, are described herein: C. albareli sp. n., C. hemi sp. n., C. nuniezi sp. n„ C. honhommei sp. n., and C. slembroucki sp.n.

Description:
During a survey of the parasites of freshwater fishes from cenotes (sinkholes) of the Yucatan Peninsula the following species of monogeneans were found on cichlid, pimelodid, characid and poeciliid fishes: Sciadicleithrum mexicanum Kritsky, Vidal-Martinez et Rodriguez-Canul, 1994 from C.ichlasoma urophthalmus (Giinther) (type host), Cichlasoma friedrichsthali (Heckel), Cichlasoma octofasciatum (Regan), and Cichlasoma synspilum Hubbs, all new host records; Sciadicleithrum meekii Mcndoza-Franco, Scholz et Vidal-Martinez, 1997 from Cichlasoma meeki (Brind); Urocleidoides chavarriai (Price, 1938) and Urocleidoides travassosi (Price, 1938) from Rhamdia guatemalensis (Günther); Urocleidoides costaricensis (Price et Bussing, 1967), Urocleidoides heteroancistrium (Price et Bussing, 1968), Urocleidoides anops Kritsky et Thatcher, 1974, Anacanthocotyle anacanthocolyle Kritsky et Fritts, 1970, and Gyrodaclylus neotropicalis Kritsky et Fritts, 1970 from Aslyanax fasciatus; and Gyrodactylus sp. from Gambusia yucatana Regan. Urocleidoides chavarriai, U. travassosi, U. costaricensis, U. heteroancistrium, U. anops, Anacanthocotyle anacanthocotyle and Gyrodactylus neotropicalis are reported from North America (Mexico) for the first time. These findings support the idea about the dispersion of freshwater fishes and their monogenean parasites from South America through Central America to southeastern Mexico, following the emergence of the Panamanian isthmus between 2 and 5 million years ago.
