REMARKS

We consider that C. gibbus , which male apparatus is closely related to that of C. lagoonaris , is a junior synonym. Paperna gives Sarotherodon melanotheron heudelotii (Duméril, 1861) as type host for C. lagoonaris coming from Ghana, and yet this fish species is not present in this area (see Paugy et al. 2003), the sub-species from Ghana is S. m. melanotheron , which is considered as the type host (as in Dossou 1982 for C. gibbus ).
