Chauhanellus boegeri: Domingues & Fehlauer (2006) : 65 View Cited Treatment –68, figs. 8–14 (descr); Cohen & Kohn (2008): 8, 32 (citat); Kohn et al. (2013): 39, 135, fig. 136 (citat).

Type-host: Genidens barbus (Lacepède) View in CoL .

Site of infection: Secondary lamellae of the gills.

Type-locality: Baía de Guaratuba, Municipality of Guaratuba, State of Paraná, Brazil.

Other records: Genidens genidens (Cuvier) View in CoL , Baía de Guaratuba, Municipality of Guaratuba, State of Paraná, Brazil; Sciades couma, Fish market, Municipality of Bragança, State of Pará, Brazil; Sciades herzbergii, Caratateua Village, Municipality of Bragança, State of Pará, Brazil (0°59’ N, 46°44’, 4644’ W); S. herzbergii, Fishing village of Ajuruteua, Municipality of Bragança, State of Pará (0°49’31”N, 46°36'29"W)

Prevalence of infection: 14 of 14 (100%) of S. couma ; 69 of 79 (88%) of S. herzbergii .

Remarks: Specimens of Chauhanellus parasitizing the gills of Sciades couma and S. herzbergii clearly are considered conspecific with C. boegeri mainly by sharing the general morphology of the male copulatory organ (a coiled tube of about 1¼ counterclockwise rings with flattened end).
