03A1F61FFFA9FFD9FF3801C23252C358.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis (based on 8 specimens). Body fusiform, comprising body proper (cephalic regions, trunk and peduncle) and opisthaptor. Body wall thin and smooth. Cephalic region bilobed, each lobe bears a spike sensillum. Cephalic gland present. Eye spots absent. Mouth situated ventrally. Pharynx spherical, comprised of two bulbs, anterior bulb presents finger-like pharyngeal processes. Oesophagus branching into two simple, blind-ended intestinal crura that extend beyond uterus. Viviparous, only one embryo in utero observed. Male copulatory organ consists of muscular pouch, positioned ventrally, close to bifurcation of intestinal crura, armed with approximately 30 gracile spines. Opisthaptor delineated from body, bearing a single pair of large, slender hamuli with constriction on outer edge between shaft and point regions on each hamulus. Hamuli root prominently flattened; ventral terminus of hamulus cap tapered. Large muscle masses and tendons associated with hamulus root caps evident. Small and simple ventral bar, without anterolateral processes; thin lingulate membrane present. Thin, simple dorsal bar. Sixteen marginal hooks with large falculate sickles of one morphological type, but of three different sizes, length of each sickle being approximately equal in length to that of their handle. Two largest pairs of marginal hooks positioned closest to opisthaptoral peduncle, neighbouring two pairs of medium-sized marginal hook sickles situated along lateral margins of opisthaptor, and remaining four pairs and smallest marginal hooks positioned along posterior margin of opisthaptor. E t y m o l o g y: Generic name refers to the presence of marginal hooks of three differing sizes.	en	Přikrylová, Iva, Barson, Maxwell, Shinn, Andrew P.

Coverslip-flattened specimens 550 – 755 (606, n = 6) long, 103 – 127 (114, n = 6) wide at level of the uterus. Pharynx muscular bulb 35 – 48 (43, n = 7) long and 38 – 45 (41) wide; anterior bulb of pharynx with eight, short pharyngeal processes. Excretory bladders present. MCO observed in three specimens; MCO muscular pouch, 19 – 24 (21, n = 3) long, 13 – 14 (13, n = 3) wide, armed with 30 gracile spines. Hamuli total length 140 – 154 (146, n = 8), point length 45 – 53 (50, n = 8), shaft length 125 – 134 (129, n = 8), root length 28 – 32 (30, n = 8).

Marginal hooks (large anterior positioned pairs): handle length 19 – 23 (22, n = 21); sickle length 20 – 23 (21 n = 22); ratio handle: sickle 1.0 – 1.1 (1.0); sickle loop length 25 – 28 (26, n = 22); sickle proximal width 12 – 16 (14, n = 22); sickle point length 10 – 12 (11, n = 22). Marginal hooks (median lateral positioned pairs): handle length 13 – 17 (15, n = 16); sickle length 14 – 16 (15, n = 18); ratio handle: sickle 1.0 – 1.1 (1.0); sickle loop length 18 – 21 (19, n = 17); sickle proximal width 9 – 12 (10, n = 17); sickle point length 7 – 9 (8, n = 16). Marginal hooks (small posterior positioned pairs): handle length 11 – 13 (12, n = 17); sickle length 11 – 13 (12, n = 16); ratio handle: sickle 1 – 1.1 (1.0); sickle loop length 15 – 17 (16, n = 17); sickle proximal width 8 – 12 (9, n = 17); sickle point length 6 – 7 (7, n = 17). T y p e h o s t: Marcusenius macrolepidotus (Peters) (Osteoglossiformes: Mormyridae). Ty p e l o c a l i t y: Lake Kariba, Zimbabwe (- 16.5270, 28.847344) T y p e m a t e r i a l: Holotype, one paratype and one hologenophore deposited in the Helminthological Collection of the Institute of Parasitology, the Biology Centre of the Czech Academy of Sciences, České Budějovice, Czech Republic (M- 758). Another two specimens, one paratype and one hologenophore, in the parasitological collection in the National Museum, Bloemfontein, South Africa (NMB P 798 and 799), and two additional paratype specimens deposited in the parasite collection of the Royal Museum for Central Africa, Tervuren, Belgium (RMCA VERMES 43423 and 43424). S i t e o n t h e h o s t: Gill filaments. M o l e c u l a r s e q u e n c e d a t a: Three specimens were successfully sequenced and the longest sequence for each region was deposited in the nucleotide database GenBank under accession numbers MZ 479697 and MZ 474665 for ITS and 18 S rDNA, respectively. The 18 S rDNA sequence was 1,864 bp long and ITS rDNA 669 bp; the latter consists of partial ITS 1 - 291 bp, 5.8 S- 157 bp, and partial ITS 2 - 221 bp. E t y m o l o g y: The species is named in honour of Wilmien Luus-Powell from the University of Limpopo, a close friend and colleague of the principal author, for her endless support and enormous contribution to research on the Monogenea in African freshwater fishes.	en	Přikrylová, Iva, Barson, Maxwell, Shinn, Andrew P.
