A.V. Gussev, B. Jalali & K. Molnar

Abstract. Six new Dactylogyrus species are described from gills of cyprinids mostly endemic in Iranian freshwaters: D. intermedioides from Carassius auratus; D. cyprinioni from Cyprinion macrostomum; D. micricirrus from Capoeta trutta; D. deziensis, D. deziensioides and D. kersini from Barbus kersin. Figures and measurements of the hook-anchor apparatus and copulatory organ of the above parasites are given.
