Monogeneans are only approximately 14% of the total number of parasite-host associations recorded in marine fish from Neotropics, and are approximately 18% of the parasite-host associations in Brazilian fishes (LUQUE; POULIN, 2007)
Numerous specimens of monogenean parasitic on cutlassfish from Guanabara Bay were collected in the Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil, and three new species were described in the present paper
