Abstract
Descriptions of three new species of Monogenea are presented: Cichlidogyrus berrebii n. sp., C. pouyaudi n. sp. and C. kothiasi n. sp., all gill parasites of Tylochromis jentinki (Cichlidae) in West Africa (Ivory Coast and Guinea). These new species are considered primitive because of the morphology of the dorsal transverse bar of the haptor, but this is not considered sufficient to warrant their exclusion from the genus Cichlidogyrus.
Resumé
Trois Monogènes nouveaux: Cichlidogyrus berrebii n. sp., C. pouyaudi n. sp. et C. kothiasi n. sp., parasites branchiaux de Tylochromis jentinki (Cichlidae), sont décrits en Afrique de l'Ouest (Côte d'Ivoire et Guinée). Ces trois nouvelles espèces sont considérées comme primitives à cause de la morphologie caractéristique de la barre transversale dorsale du hapteur, mais elles sont cependant situées dans le genre Cichlidogyrus.
