TI  - Description of Gyrodactylus mediotorus n. sp. (Monogenea: Gyrodactylidae) 
      infecting spottail shiner (Notropis hudsonius) from the St. Lawrence River, 
      Canada.

AB  - Gyrodactylus mediotorus n. sp. is described from the body, fins, and buccal 
      cavity of the spottail shiner, Notropis hudsonius (Cyprinidae) from the St. 
      Lawrence River, Quebec, Canada. Gyrodactylus mediotorus n. sp. is the first 
      species of Gyrodactylus Nordmann, 1832 described from N. hudsonius and is 
      characterized by large hamuli, large medial process of the ventral bar, narrow 
      linguiform ventral bar membrane, large anterolateral processes, and marginal 
      hooks with long shafts and distinctly shaped sickle. The species that most 
      resembles Gyrodactylus mediotorus n. sp. is Gyrodactylus protuberus Rogers and 
      Wellborn, 1965 described from the stargazing shiner, Notropis uranoscopus 
      Suttkus, 1959. The 2 species can be differentiated based on the larger hamuli 
      (68.4 vs. 64) and ventral bar (38.4 vs. 24) of Gyrodactylus mediotorus n. sp. and 
      the shape of the marginal hooks which for Gyrodactylus mediotorus n. sp. has a 
      slightly larger toe and a point which is not as angled. The morphological 
      description is supplemented with 436 sequenced base pairs of the 18S gene 
      (including the V4 region) as well as 1,041 sequenced base pairs spanning the 
      complete ITS-1, 5.8S, and ITS-2 regions. BLAST (Basic Local Alignment Search 
      Tool) searches failed to provide any close matches for either regions of DNA, 
      with Gyrodactylus colemanensis infecting Salvelinus fontinalis being the most 
      genetically similar for both the 18S ( approximately 91%, JF836090) and ITS ( approximately 84%, JF836142) 
      rDNA regions. Gyrodactylus mediotorus n. sp. has been found infecting spottail 
      shiners in the St. Lawrence River in low prevalence and intensities periodically 
      over the last 15 yr.
