  abstract = {{G}ill monogenean species of {L}igophorus {E}uzet et {S}uriano, 1977 were studied from the teleost {M}ugil cephalus {L}inneaus ({M}ugilidae) from the {M}editerranean and {A}tlantic coasts of {M}orocco. {W}e report the presence of {L}. mediterraneus from both the {M}editerranean and {A}tlantic coast and {L}. cephali and {L}. maroccanus sp. n. from the {A}tlantic coast only. {T}he latter species, which is described herein as new, resembles {L}. guanduensis but differs from this species mainly in having a shorter penis compared to the accessory piece, a proportionally longer extremity of the accessory piece and a less developed heel. {T}he utility of {L}igophorus spp. as markers of cryptic species of the complex {M} cephalus is discussed in the context of species diversity and geographical distribution of these monogeneans on this host around the world. {P}resence of different species of {L}igophorus on {M} cephalus sensu stricto from the {A}tlantic and {M}editerranean coast of {M}orocco demonstrates the usefulness of these species as fine resolution markers of genetic populations of their host, which are known to inhabit those coasts.},
