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.</p><p>Etymology:</p><p>The specific epithet “ mirospinata ” (from the Latin mirun = wonderful; spinus = thorns) refers to the unique morphology of the hooks among Neotropical species of Monogenoidea .</p><p>Remarks:</p><p>Species of five genera have been reported from native species of Cichlidae in the Neotropical region: Trinidactylus Hanek, Molnar &amp; Fernando, 1974; Gussevia Kohn &amp; Paperna, 1964; Sciadicleithrum Kritsky, Thatcher &amp; Boeger, 1989; Tucunarella Mendoza-Franco, Scholz &amp; Rozkošná, 2010; and Parasciadicleithrum Mendoza-Palmero, Blasco-Costa, Hernández-Mena &amp; Pérez-Ponce de León, 2017 . Biotodomella mirospinata sp. nov. does not conform with the diagnostic features of any of these genera, nor to any other genus reported from cichlids worldwide (see Boeger and Vianna 2006, Pariselle et al. 2011, Mendoza-Franco et al. 2010).</p><p>Biotodomella mirospinata sp. nov. is the only known species of the new genus proposed herein. The putative most distinctive diagnostic feature of Biotodomella, i. e. hook pairs distinct from each other with morphology unique among Neotropical freshwater monogenoids, is not shared with any other known species in the region and justifies the proposal of the new genus. The morphology of the dorsal anchor (with a groove on the distal portion of the shaft and a bifid point) is also unique among Neotropical dactylogyrids and is putatively considered another key diagnostic feature for the genus. Finally, no other genus of Dactylogyridae from Neotropical Cichlidae present species with tandem gonads as Boitodomella.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/A0A2E979A4A5520CA62581611917A955	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

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.

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.
