Extract

From three specimens of the Amazon Siluroid fish Platystomatichthys sturio (the “Lenha”) I have described (1) Othinoscolex lenha, representing not only a new genus and species but also a new subfamily (the Othinoscolecinae) of the Proteocephalidae, (2) Othinoscolex myzofer, a second species of the new genus, (3) a distinct new species of La Rue's genus Monticellia—Monticellia lenha, and (4) a new species of Proteocephalus, Proteocephalus lenha.
