Haliotrema banana sp n. (Monogenea : ancyrocephalidae) from Bodianus perditio (Perciformes : labridae) off New Caledonia

Sixteen labrid species, including four Bodianits spp., were examined in New Caledonia (South Pacific) and monogeneans were found only on Bodianus perditio (Quoy et Gaimard). This species, Haliotrenza banana sp. n., is the second Haliotrema species to be described from the labrids, the first being Hatiolrema bodiani Yamaguti, 1968 from Bodianus albottieniatus (Valenciennes), previously designated as B. bilunulatus (Lacepede). The new species is similar to IT bodiani in soft reproductive parts but differs from it in the morphologies of the hard haptoral parts, mainly in the shape of the dorsal bar (bar-shaped vs V-shaped in H. bodiani) and ventral bar. It is similar to Hatiotrema spit-cite Yamaguti, 1968 and Hatiotrema minutospirale Yamaguti, 1968 in the shape of the anchors and bars but differs from them in the detailed structures of the copulatory organ and vaginal system.
