Article Synopsis
- A survey conducted in the Gulf of Mexico from September 2017 to December 2020 identified nine species of monogeneans (Hemirhamphiculus) infecting six types of beloniform fishes, with five new species described.
- The study also involved the transfer of four previously described species to the Hemirhamphiculus genus and noted a new host record for one of them on a different fish species.
- Additionally, three Indo-Pacific species were transferred to Hemirhamphiculus, and several former genera were synonymized with it, indicating a reclassification in the taxonomy of these parasites.
Morphological data are used to describe a new nematode species, Heterocheilus floridensis sp. n. (Heterocheilidae) from the digestive tract of the Florida manatee Trichechus manatus latirostris (Harlan) (Trichechidae, Sirenia) from Florida, USA.

Herein, we provide the first pathological descriptions of these lesions and summarize our analyses to elucidate the etiology of the disease.
