AB  - Gyrodactylus notatae n. sp. (Monogenea: Gyrodactylidae) is described from the 
      fins and gills of the Atlantic silverside Menidia menidia (L.) (Atherinidae) 
      inhabiting the brackish water of Lawrencetown Lake, Nova Scotia, Canada. G. 
      notatae n. sp. is the first monogenean to be reported from M. menidia. It is 
      characterised by having stout hamuli, a ventral bar with small anterolateral 
      processes and a linguiform membrane, a cylindrical dorsal bar, a male copulatory 
      organ (MCO) with a single large and only three small terminal spines, and a 
      marginal hook sickle that is wider distally than proximally. The new species most 
      closely resembles species of the G. wageneri-group, particularly G. pungitii 
      Malmberg, 1964, but is distinguished by the smaller dimensions of all of its 
      haptoral components. The morphological description of G. notatae is supplemented 
      with 1,028 sequenced base pairs (bp) of ribosomal DNA (rDNA) spanning the ITS-1, 
      5.8S and ITS-2 regions, with which a BLAST (Basic Local Alignment Search Tool) 
      search failed to provide close matches (c.80%). G. notatae is only the second 
      species of viviparous monogenean to be described from species of Menidia, the 
      other being G. nannus Rogers, 1968 from M. beryllina (Cope) in the southern USA. 
      The two species appear to be from different lineages within Gyrodactylus von 
      Nordmann, 1832.
