Description Current research dealing with the taxonomic evaluation of monogeneans collected from 4 species (3 genera, i.e. Alestes, Hydrocynus and Brycinus) of the Alestidae from the Turkana Lake (Kenya) revealed the presence of 7 species (475 specimens) of Annulotrema. Five of them represent species new for science. Three Annulotrema spp. examined by us share the same type of haptoral configuration and male copulatory organ, which may indicate a close relationship among these species.
