  abstract = {{C}yprinid fishes are known to harbour highly host-specific gill-associated parasites of {D}actylogyrus. {H}igh similarity in the morphology of sclerotized structures among {D}actylogyrus species, especially those parasitizing congeneric cyprinoids, makes their identification difficult. {I}n this paper, four previously known species of {D}actylogyrus are characterized and illustrated under a reliable taxonomic framework integrating morphological and molecular evidence, and their phylogenetic relationships are investigated using molecular data. {T}he species are as follows: {D}. borjensis from {L}uciobarbus zayanensis; {D}. draaensis from {L}uciobarbus lepineyi; {D}. ksibii from {L}uciobarbus ksibi and {L}uciobarbus rabatensis; and {D}. marocanus from {C}arasobarbus fritschii, {L}. ksibi, {L}. zayanensis and {P}terocapoeta maroccana. {O}ur results revealed intraspecific genetic variability among specimens of {D}. ksibii collected from two different hosts and geographically distant basins. {P}hylogenetic reconstruction showed that {D}actylogyrus spp. parasitizing {M}oroccan cyprinids are representatives of three main lineages corresponding to morphological differences and host specificity. {O}ur records of {D}. marocanus on {L}. zayanensis and {P}. maroccana increase the range of available host species i.e.,eight species of four cyprinid genera representing two phylogenetic lineages (i.e., {B}arbinae and {T}orinae).},
