Abstract

The taxonomical status of Ichthyocephalus anafe García & Coy, 1996 and I. guaniguanico Coy & García, 1999 (Nematoda: Ichthyocephalidae) is discussed. The revision of types of I. anafe as well as new material from the type locality and host of I. guaniguanico showed the existence of morphometrical and morphological similarities of the latter taxa with I. cubensis Spiridonov, 1989. Therefore, I. anafe and I. guaniguanico are considered synonyms of I. cubensis. The species is recorded for two new localities from Cuba: Tres Ceibas de Clavellinas, Matanzas province and Jobo Rosado, Sancti Spíritus province.
