Remarks.

Eleven species of Parapharyngodon have been recorded in Mexico ( Garduño-Montes de Oca et al. 2016), eight of them endemic, representing 10% of the world diversity of this genus. The high species richness of Parapharyngodon is probably related to the geographical and environmental heterogeneity of this region, and was recently revealed by parasitological surveys of host species not considered in previous studies ( Jiménez et al. 2008, Bursey and Goldberg 2015, Velarde-Aguilar et al. 2015, Garduño-Montes de Oca et al. 2016).
