REMARKS
Paperna (1979) synonymised Cichlidogyrus tubicirrus minutus with Cichlidogyrus tubicirrus, the validity of type host, type locality, holotype and paratypes given in this paper is dubious; in the original description by Paperna & Th urston (1969), the figure and measurements of specimens from Oreochromis leucostictus, are almost identical to those of C. tilapiae (cf. Ergens 1981: 210), with which C. tubicirrus (from O. leucostictus) has to be synonymised.
