Type: article

Abstract: During studies on parasites of fishes from Moa River, state of Acre, five species of Dactylogyridae were identified parasitizing Brycon cephalus (Günther, 1869): Anacanthorus elegans Kritsky, Thatcher & Kayton, 1979, Anacanthorus kruidenieri Kritsky, Thatcher & Kayton, 1979, Anacanthorus spiralocirrus Kritsky, Thatcher & Kayton, 1979, Annulotrematoides bryconi Cuglianna, Cordeiro & Luque, 2003, and Tereancistrum kerri Kritsky, Thatcher & Kayton, 1980. New morphological and biogeographic data are provided. Records of these parasites in congeneric hosts reinforce the host specificity of these species, restricted to species of Bryconidae.
