【 摘 要 】

A study of monogenean gill parasites from three species of the genus Clarias Scopoli, 1777 (Clariidae), namely Clarias camerunensis Lönnberg, 1895, C. jaensis Boulenger, 1909 and C. pachynema Boulenger, 1903, from the Nyong basin (Cameroon) revealed the presence of three new monogenean species of the new genus Birgiellus, namely Birgiellus mutatus n. sp. from C. pachynema, B. calaris n. sp. from C. jaensis and B. kellensis n. sp. from C. camerunensis. The genus Birgiellus differs from the genus Quadriacanthus by the morphology of the ventral bar composed of a single piece (two distinct in Quadriacanthus) and the size of the uncinuli IV, which are not much different from the others (longest in Quadriacanthus). Birgiellus calaris differs from B. mutatus by its ventral anchors longer and larger, the morphology of the ventral bar with a short incision between the two branches, and a long and trapezoid handle, the size of the sclerotised structures of the male and female copulatory organs, the larger thickness of the hook in the male accessory piece, the latter having also a heel. Birgiellus kellensis is closer to B. calaris but can be distinguished by the small size of its dorsal and ventral anchors, its transverse bars, male copulatory organ, and the accessory piece, which also has not a heel but a secondary blade. According to the clause 8.5.2 of the International Zoological Code of Nomenclature (1999) the genus Birgiellus and the species B. mutatus and B. calaris, respectively, replace Claridectes, C. clarisa and C. alacris previously described by Birgi (1987), but whose specimens were not deposited in a museum. All the three taxa described exhibit a strict (oioxenous) host specificity.
