Abstract

The D1-D2 domains of LSU rDNA were used to reconstruct the phylogenetic relationships within the Ancyrocephalinae (Monogenea: Dactylogyridae) utilizing maximum-parsimony (MP), maximum-likelihood (ML), minimum evolution (ME) and neighbour-joining (NJ) methods. A total of 32 monogenean taxa were examined in the present study, including 9 Haliotrema species and 13 other species representing the Ancyrocephalinae, 4 Thaparocleidus species representing the Ancylodiscoididae, and 6 species representing the Diplectanidae which were used as multiple outgroups. All 4 analyses (i.e. MP, ML, ME and NJ) inferred the same interrelationship pattern: (Diplectanidae, (Ancylodiscoididae, Dactylogyridae)) with high bootstrap support. However, 9 Haliotrema species were dispersed to form 4 clades together with species from other genera, indicating the apparent non-monophyly of Haliotrema. Three major groups were defined based on reconstructed phylogenetic trees to explain the radiation of Haliotrema species. The morphology of the reproductive organ, particularly the male copulatory organ (MCO), was discussed to further understand the formation of each group. (1) Results of the present study indicated an intimate relationship among Metahaliotrema (2 species), Protogyrodactylus (4 species) and Haliotrema (2 of 9 species), and notably, all these species share vagina-absence. (2) Based on the present molecular analyses and the morphological characters of the MCO, we propose to transfer H. spirotubiforum and the undetermined Haliotrema sp. ZHDDb to Euryhaliotrema as new combinations. (3) We propose to erect a new genus to accommodate the Haliotrema species with horn-like shaped MCO. Taxonomic implications of the present molecular phylogenetic analyses are discussed. A wider range of taxa and more DNA markers displaying various evolutionary rates should be used to estimate phylogenetic relationships among species within the Ancyrocephalinae and Ancylodiscoididae in further studies.
