Dogielius anthocolpos Guégan, Lambert & Euzet, 1989

( Figure 14 )

Type host and locality: Labeo coubie , Niger River (Bamako), Mali.

Other record: Labeo coubie, Baoulé River (Missira), Mali ( Guégan et al. 1989).

Present record: Labeo coubie, Mare de Simenti (13º 01.790’N; 13º 17.608’W), Niokolo-Koba National Park, Senegal.

Site: Gill lamellae.

Type specimen: Holotype MNHN HC 271.

Material examined: 3 unflattened and 6 flattened specimens in GAP.

Description: Body length 296 (273–312; n = 3); greatest width 92 (80–102; n = 3) usually near midlength. Haptor 79 (73–86; n = 3) long, 160 (158–164; n = 3) wide. Single pair of anchors (ventral): inner length 38 (37–39; n = 6); outer length 47 (45–49; n = 6); point length 27 (26–29; n = 6). One bar (ventral): 66 (63–68; n = 6) long, 8 (7–8; n = 6) wide. Hooks 7 pairs, slightly dissimilar in size; hook lengths (n = 6): pairs I, II = 17 (17–18); pairs III, IV, VI, VII = 22 (21–22); pair V = 19 (19–20). Vagina sclerotized, 43 (39–47; n = 6) long. Copulatory organ composed of a curved tube and articulated accessory piece; total length 50 (45–53; n = 6); tube trace-length 48 (43–50; n = 6).

Remarks: The morphology and measurements of our specimens correspond well to the original description of D. anthocolpos by Guégan et al. (1989).
