Abstract
    Examination of the gill lamellae of the Panama grunt Rhencus panamensis (Steindachner) (Haemulidae), golden snapper Lutjanus inermis (Peters), and yellow snapper Lutjanus argentiventris (Peters) (Lutjanidae) (Perciformes) from the coast of the Guerrero State (eastern Tropical Pacific) of Mexico revealed 5 species of Monogenoidea: Euryhaliotrema disparum n. sp. on R. panamensis; Haliotrematoides uagroi n. sp. on L. inermis; and E. anecorhizion Kritsky & Mendoza-Franco, 2012, E. fastigatum (Zhukov, 1976) Kritsky & Boeger, 2002, and E. paracanthi (Zhukov, 1976) Kritsky & Boeger, 2002 on L. argentiventris. Specimens found on R. panamensis were assigned within Euryhaliotrema as a new species possessing the atypical morphology of the male copulatory organ (i.e., a coiled tube with clockwise rings). Haliotrematoides uagroi n. sp. differs from Haliotrematoides striatohamus (Zhukov, 1981) Mendoza-Franco, Reyes-Lizama & Gonzalez-Solis, 2009 from Haemulon spp. (Haemulidae) from the Caribbean Sea (Mexico) in having inner blades on the distal shafts of the ventral and dorsal anchors. The present paper represents the first finding of a species of Euryhaliotrema (E. disparum n. sp.) on a species of Rhencus and the second species on a haemulid host, and H. uagroi n. sp. as the first monogenoidean species described on L. inermis. Euryhaliotrema anecorhizion, E. fastigatum, and E. paracanthi on L. argentiventris in the Pacific coast of Mexico represent new geographical records.
