Abstract
- Members of Sinistroporomonorchis Wee, Cutmore, Pérez-del-Olmo & Cribb, 2020 represent a small group of trematodes belonging to the Monorchiidae Odhner, 1911 with 5 species described from mugilid hosts. Specimens consistent with the generic concept of Sinistroporomonorchis were obtained from Floridichthys polyommus (Cyprinodontidae); most of them were juveniles from 4 localities within the Yucatán Peninsula. After a detailed morphological examination including scanning electron microscopy images and a principal component analysis, the specimens collected represented a new species, Sinistroporomonorchis bolini n. sp. The new species can be differentiated by the presence of an overall large pharynx including the proportion of pharynx width to oral sucker width, a uterus arranged in 2 main lateral fields, and by presenting robust caeca. In addition, sequences of the 28S of large subunit of nuclear ribosomal RNA and cox 1 of the mitochondrial DNA were obtained. Phylogenetic trees inferred from each dataset, placed all the specimens in a monophyletic clade, confirming that the isolates belonged to the same species. The new species is the sixth described for the genus Sinistroporomonorchis , the fifth described from the Yucatán Peninsula and the first described from a non-mugilid host.
