  abstract = {{I}ranocichla hormuzensis occupies a biogeographically peculiar position. {T}his endemic of southern {I}ran is the only {I}ranian cichlid. {W}hile it is phylogenetically related to {A}frican oreochromine members of the cichlid family, it remains unclear how it has dispersed into its current range. {I}t is one of the many lasting enigmas of cichlid biogeography. {M}onogenean fish parasites may provide useful additional information in such cases. {T}herefore, {I}. hormuzensis was examined for these flatworms. {A} gyrodactylid parasite is reported and compared to congeners from the {P}alearctic and from cichlids. {I}n this way, we verify whether it shows affinities to parasites from fishes that are either biogeographically or phylogenetically close to {I}ranocichla hormuzensis. {T}he species is new to science and is described as {G}yrodactylus jalalii sp. nov. {T}his is the first description of a parasite infecting {I}. hormuzensis. {B}ecause of the fixation method or age of the material, {DNA} could not be isolated. {D}ue to the lack of genetic data, no conclusions can be drawn on its phylogenetic positioning. {I}ndeed, {G}yrodactylus phylogeny cannot be inferred from morphological characteristics alone. {M}oreover, the congeners phenotypically reminiscent of the new species belong to a {G}yrodactylus clade which is highly diverse in geographic range and host choice. {H}ence, there is no evidence linking the new species to an exclusively {A}frican or cichlid-bound {G}yrodactylus lineage.},
