Description:

Nine Pteromylaeus bovinus (F., Geoffroy St. Hilaire) (Euselachii: Myliobatinae) from the Tunisian coast were examined l'or ectoparasites during 1995, 1996 and 1997. A monogenean found on the gills of seven host specimens is described as a new species and a new genus, Heliocotyle, is proposed to accomodate it. The presence of a single sclerotized haptoral structure on the dorsal surface of the haptor leads us to place this species in the Heterocotylinae Chisholm, Wheeler ct Beverley-Burton, 1995. The genus Heliocotyle is characterized by a haptor with only one dorsal structure and seven loculi, six being subdivided by pseudosepta. Heliocotyle kartasi sp. n. is the type and the only species in this genus.
