Wardula sarguicola n. sp. is reported from the rectum of Diplodus sargus off the western coast of Corsica (the Scandola Nature Reserve). It is the only mesometrid species which has been recorded from a fish other than Sarpa salpa. Among the numerous features which distinguish W. sarguicola n. sp. from W. capitellata (Rud.), the type and only other species of the genus, we draw special attention to its smaller size, the absence of buccal ridges within the oral sucker, the presence of uterine coils between the gonads and even posterior to the ovary, a well-developed prostatic sac and a genital pore remote from the oral sucker.
Résumé
Wardula sarguicola n. sp. a été trouvé dans le rectum de Diplodus sargus, sur la côte occidentale de la Corse (Réserve Naturelle de Scandola). C’est le seul Mésometridé qui soit signalé chez un poisson autre que Sarpa salpa. Parmi les nombreux caractères qui distinguent W. sarguicola n. sp. de W. capitellata, la seule espèce qui existait dans ce genre, nous retenons essentiellement sa plus petite taille, l’absence de crêtes buccales dans la ventouse orale, la présence de boucles utérines entre les différentes gonades ainsi qu’en arrière de l’ovaire, une poche prostatique bien individualisée et un orifice génital éloigné de la ventouse orale.
