“…The crustacean subclass Branchiura Thorell, 1864 contains about 175 species classified in four genera (Argulus Müller, 1785, Chonopeltis Thiele, 1900, Dipteropeltis Calman, 1912, and Dolops Audouin, 1837) within a single family, Argulidae Leach, 1819, and is known as one of the groups of ectoparasites of fishes (Boxshall 2005;Poly 2009). Three of these genera occur only in fresh waters of non-Asian countries (viz., Dipteropeltis in South America, Chonopeltis in Africa, and Dolops in South America, Africa, and Tasmania) (Poly 2009;Neethling et al 2014).…”
