Abstract
Three species of the monogenean genus Cichlidogyrus Paperna, 1960 (C. sclerosus Paperna & Thurston, 1969, C. halli (Price & Kirk, 1967) and C. tilapiae Paperna, 1960) are reported for the first time from Japan based on specimens from the gills of tilapias (Nile tilapia Oreochromis niloticus niloticus and Mozambique tilapia O. mossambicus) in Okinawa Prefecture. These host species are of African origin, and the monogeneans found are definitely alien parasites that were introduced along with their African tilapias to Okinawa Prefecture.
