Resumen
KRITSKY, Delane C. y MENDOZA-FRANCO, Edgar F.. Revision of Aristocleidus (Monogenoidea: Dactylogyridae), rediscovery of Aristocleidus hastatus, and description of Aristocleidus lamothei n. sp. from the Peruvian Mojarra Diapterus peruvianus (Teleostei: Gerreidae) in Mexico. Rev. Mex. Biodiv. [online]. 2008, vol.79, suppl., pp.75-82. ISSN 2007-8706.
The generic diagnosis of Aristocleidus Mueller, 1936 is emended based on a collection of 2 species of the genus from the gills of the Peruvian mojarra, Diapterus peruvianus (Gerreidae), from a lagoon along the Pacific Coast of Mexico. The genus is characterized in part by species having a deeply incised base of the ventral anchor with the tip of the superficial root conspicuously directed toward that of the deep root. Aristocleidus hastatus Mueller, 1936 is redescribed and Aristocleidus lamothei n. sp. is described from D. peruvianus from the Tres Palos Lagoon, Guerrero State, Mexico. The finding of A. hastatus on D. peruvianus in Mexico represents new host and locality records for the species.
