Extract

Fourteen species of Monogenea (Dactylogyridae) are reported from fish from the Eilat and Suez gulf littoral. The parasites were collected from fish of 12 species (10 families) and include 9 species of the genus Halioirema (Johnston and Tiegs, 1922) (including four new species), two species of Ancyrocephalus Creplin, 1839 and one species of each of the genera: Atherinicus Bychowski and Nagibina, 1969, Diversohamulus Bychowski and Nagibina, 1969 and Placodiscus n.gen.
