Two new species, Encotyllabe cheilodactyli and Encotyllabe antofagastensis (Monogenea: Capsalidae), have been found in the pharyngeal plates of Cheilodactylus variegatus and Anisotremus scapularis, respectively, in northern Chile (23°38'N, 70°24'W). Descriptions of the new species were based on morphometric and molecular evidence. Both species differ from previously described species of the genus by a combination of characteristics, including the size and relative position of the testes and the shapes of the major and small hamulus. In addition, E. cheilodactyli is unique among the known species of Encotyllabe due to the testes crossing the equatorial line of the body proper, and E. antofagastensis is unique among the known species of Encotyllabe due to its penis structure and anatomy leading to the genital pore. The analysis of the cytochrome c oxidase I gene as well as morphometric analyses demonstrated that the specimens belonged to 2 different species.

Background: fish is one of the fish of high economic importance in the countries of the world in general and the Mediterranean countries in specific, including the Libyan Sea waters, for this it is necessary to know everything related to this type of fish, including its infection with parasites. Parasites are considered one of the factors threatening the life of fish, being one of the food chains and the ecological composition of life.
Aim: The current study aims to isolate and identify the parasites that infect the .

Incomplete original descriptions, the unavailability or poor conditions of specimens and the lack of detailed redescriptions have caused the validity of several species of the genus Diesing, 1850 to be questioned. To date, seven of the recognized species were described upon one or two specimens, hindering study of intraspecific variations. This was made worse by considering few morphoanatomical differences sufficient to erect new species.

During a study of the monogeneans of four sparid fishes (, , and ) from the Western Mediterranean off Algeria, a large collection of parasites was characterised molecularly (28S rRNA and 1 genes). A total of 46 partial sequences (23 for each gene) were generated from 38 isolates of monogeneans which included four species (, (), and Prostatomicrocotylinae gen. sp.
