Cephalic region with two pairs of lobes, head organs. Eyespots 4, anterior pair smaller than posterior pair; granules small, ovate; accessory granules scattered in cephalic region. Pharynx spherical, 23 (18 – 27, n = 6) in diameter; esophagus short, inconspicuous. Testis ovate, 67 long (n = 1), posterior to germarium; vas deferens loops left intestinal caecum; seminal vesicle elongate; prostatic reservoirs 2, pyriform; smaller prostatic reservoir with thick walls. MCO 24 (20 – 27, n = 6) long, sclerotized, coiled, with about two clockwise rings, base with short sclerotized fringe, tip funnel-shaped. Accessory piece elongate, 19 (14 – 19, n = 6) long, with submedian thumb-like projection, articulated with MCO by delicate process. Germarium 39 long (n = 1), ovate. Uterus not observed. Vagina dextral, a sclerotized proximally funnel-shaped tube; atrium sclerotized; seminal receptacle immediately anterior to germarium, globose. Vitelline follicles dense, overlapping caeca, reaching peduncle. Haptor subcircular. Hooks of hook pair 1 more robust than remaining, with straight shaft, inconspicuous point, inconspicuous thumb, shank with fringe-like expansion on proximal, veil-like sclerotization on proximal portion of shank; hooks of hook pairs 2 – 7 with similar morphology of shaft, point, thumb (erected conspicuous thumb, slightly curved shaft, short point); shaft variably expanded among hook pairs through; hook pairs 2, 3, 6, 7 with sclerotized expansions on distal end, variable in length, especially long in hook pair 7 (longer than hook length); hook pairs 4, 5 lacking sclerotized expansions on proximal end; hook pair 5 comparatively more delicate than remaining hook pairs. Hook pair 1, 35 (32 – 37, n = 6) long (including cuticular expansion whenever present); hook pair 2, 23 (21 – 24, n = 6) long; hook pair 3, 15 (15 – 19, n = 6); hook pair 4, 15 (15 – 20, n = 6) long; hook pair 5, 14 (14 – 17, n = 6) long; hook pair 6, 20 (18 – 22, n = 6) long; hook pair 7, 42 (41 – 43, n = 6) long. Bars elongate, distinct. Ventral bar halter-shaped with anterior, posterior grooves, 54 (48 – 60, n = 6) long. Dorsal bar more delicate, with extremities slightly recurved posteriorly, 65 (62 – 68, n = 6) long. Ventral anchor 47 (42 – 51, n = 6) long, base 5 (3 – 6; n = 6) wide, with elongate superficial root, with slightly recurved tip, short round deep root, evenly curved shaft, point. Dorsal anchor, 30 (27 – 33, n = 6) long, base 17 (12 – 20, n = 6) wide, with robust superficial root with small digitiform tip, short deep root, shaft. Eggs not observed.	en	Murrieta Morey, Germán Augusto, Vásquez Arimuya, Mariana, Boeger, Walter A. (2019): Neotropical Monogenoidea 62. Biotodomella mirospinata gen. nov., sp. nov.

A0A2E979A4A5520CA62581611917A955.taxon	etymology	Etymology: The specific epithet “ mirospinata ” (from the Latin mirun = wonderful; spinus = thorns) refers to the unique morphology of the hooks among Neotropical species of Monogenoidea.	en	Murrieta Morey, Germán Augusto, Vásquez Arimuya, Mariana, Boeger, Walter A.

C8A17A3D95D05686B53AC7CCAF2FD2F8.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Dactylogyridae. Body comprising cephalic region, trunk, peduncle and haptor. Tegument smooth. Head organs and two pairs of cephalic lobes present. Eyespots 4. Mouth ventral; pharynx muscular; intestinal caeca two, confluent posteriorly to testis. Common genital pore mid-ventral, at level of intestinal bifurcation. Gonads intercaecal, tandem; germarium anterior to testis. Vas deferens loops left intestinal caecum; seminal vesicle a simple dilation of vas deferens. Copulatory complex comprising male copulatory organ (MCO) and accessory piece. MCO sclerotized, clockwise; accessory piece articulated to base of MCO by delicate process. Seminal receptacle present, anterior to germarium; vaginal aperture dextral, sclerotized; vaginal duct a sclerotized tube. Vitelline follicles dense, overlapping caeca. Haptor armed with seven pairs of hooks with ancyrocephaline distribution (Mizelle 1936), ventral and dorsal pairs of anchors, and ventral and dorsal bars. Hooks of each hook pair well-differentiated from the remaining pairs; shaft varying in robustness, proximal end of shaft of pairs 1 – 3, 6 – 7 with variably sclerotized expansions. Ventral and dorsal bars elongate, distinct. Anchors of distinct morphology and size; both with short deep, elongate superficial roots. Dorsal anchor with grooved shaft, bifid point.
