摘要

This study supplements the original description of Synodontella zambezensis Douellou et Chishawa, 1995 and represents a new geographical record for this parasite from Synodontis zambezensis from South Africa. The revision is based on morphometric characteristics and molecular data. Characterisation of LSU, partial SSU and ITS1 rDNA represents a fi rst record of DNA sequencing for Synodontella species.
