Pomphorhynchus tereticollis (Pomphorhynchidae) is reported at 24% prevalence in 37 Cobitis bilseli (Cobitidae) from Lake Beysehir, Konya, for the first time. The eoacanthoacaphalan Triaspiron aphanii gen. n. et sp. n. (Quadrigyridae), at a prevalence of 90%, is described from 29 Aphanius mento (Cyprinodontidae), from Kirkgoz Springs, Antalya. The new genus most closely resembles Raosentis Datta, 1947, both having a small spindle shaped trunk, and Acanthogyrus Thapar, 1927, both having a proboscis armature of three circles of hooks. Triaspiron differs from Raosentis in proboscis shape, cylindrical not globular, proboscis armature, three circles, a total of 16 hooks in all, not four circles, a total of 26-30 hooks in all, and trunk spination, two fields of spines in the anterior field with spines arranged in up to 40 circular rows, not a single field with 9-17 rows of spines. Triaspiron differs from Acanthogyrus in having fewer proboscis hooks, 16 compared with 18-24, arranged in three circles, one anterior and two posteriorly placed, with an unarmed region between, not three circles of hooks evenly spaced, and two fields of trunk spines, not one.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessParasitologyAcanthocephalaTaxonomyMorphologyTriaspiron aphaniiPomphorhynchus tereticollisFreshwater fishCobitis bilseliAphanius mentoLake beysehirKirkgoz springsHost recordsAntalyaErectionLakeKeyAcanthocephalaAnimalsFemaleFish diseasesFishesHelminthiasis, animalMaleTurkeyPomphorhynchidae and quadrigyridae (Acanthocephala), including a new genus and species (Pallisentinae), from freshwater fishes, cobitidae and cyprinodontidae, in TurkeyArticle0003101917000022-s2.0-8487191725716216659323136795ParasitologyLigula Intestinalis; Gyrodactylus; EustrongylidesAcanthocephalaAnimalAnimal parasitosisArticleClassificationFemaleFishFish diseaseIsolation and purificationMaleParasitologyTurkey (republic)
