L’examen de Schilbe mystus (Linné, 1758) (Schilbeidae) et Citharinus citharus (Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire, 1809) (Citharinidae), capturés respectivement dans les bassins de la Sanaga à Edéa et de la Bénoué à Lagdo, a révélé la présence de deux espèces nouvelles de Myxosporidies appartenant au genre Thelohanellus Kudo, 1993 : Thelohanellus njinei n. sp., parasite de l’intestin de Schilbe mystus et Thelohanellus lagdoensis n. sp., parasite de l’intestin chez Citharinus citharus. Des informations complémentaires sont données sur la diagnose de Thelohanellus citharini, parasite antérieurement décrit au Tchad.
Abstract
The study of Myxosporidia infecting Schilbe mystus (Linné, 1758) (Schilbeidae) and Citharinus citharus (Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire, 1809) (Citharinidae) from the Sanaga and Bénoué basins revealed the presence of two new species of the genus Thelohanellus kudo, 1993. These species are Thelohanellus njinei sp. nov. and Thelohanellus lagdoensis sp. nov., found in the gut of Schilbe mystus and Citharinus citharus respectively. New data are also given on the diagnosis of Thelohanellus citharini, a species previously described in Chad.
