New geographic distribution record of Dactylogyrus labei Musselius and Gusev (1976) (Platyhelminthes, Monogenea) of Labeo rohita (Teleostei: Cyprinidae) from Mizoram, northeast India

Abstract
Dactylogyrus labei is a dactylogyrid monogenean parasite originally described by Musselius and Gusev (1976) from Labeo rohita (Hamilton, 1822) (Teleostei: Cyprinidae) in two alternative forms: a typical from Lucknow, north India and an atypical from Kalyani, east India. Fresh specimens of D. labei were collected from Mizoram in northeast India, and examined morphologically using high-resolution digital image processing and analysis. The recovered monogeneans most closely resembled the atypical form of D. labei, with only minor differences, indicating conspecificity. The atypical form of D. labei is distinguished from other species of the genus by the following combination of characters: the dorsal bar wing-shaped, with a fine membrane on the anterior margin and a fenestration in the middle; the ventral bar casing nail-shaped with two small antero-lateral processes (3-rayed); the male copulatory tube loosely S-shaped, slender, with an inflated initial part; the accessory piece proximally tubular, distally a complex of multi-layered sheath guiding the copulatory tube, and the vagina tubular, with one small loop and vaginal pore surrounded with a flap-like structure. This study expands the geographical distribution of D. labei while improving its morphological descriptions.
