AbstractA new species of Gyrodactylus is described from the gills of the near-threatened Clanwilliam sawfin, Cheilobarbus serra (Smiliogastrinae) collected from the Matjies River, Cape Fold Ecoregion, Western Cape Province, South Africa. Morphometry and morphology of the haptoral hard parts (hamuli, bars and marginal hooks) of Gyrodactylus serrai n. sp. differ from the other known species of the genus in the smaller size of hamuli and the shape and size of marginal hooks.
