REMARKS

Dossou (1982) described this species in Benin, but confused the identification with C. gallus Pariselle & Euzet, 1995 (see below under Cichlidogyrus gallus ). The specimens of C. aegypticus from T. louka and T. walteri show a shape of the vagina slightly different from that described on T. zillii , which was not deemed sufficient for Pariselle & Euzet (1996) to create a new species.
