Abstract: In carp raised in Hungarian fish farms two Thelohanellus species were found which differed morphologically and in their localization on the host. These parasites probably reached Eastern Europe with the introduction of the amur wild carp (Cyprinus carpio haematopterus) and were introduced into Hungary through natural waters. We have proved that T. nikolskii Achmerov, 1955 developing on the carp fins and T. hovorkai Achmerov, 1960 living on the serous membranes of the inner organs are highly host- and organospecific parasite species, and, in contrast to earlier suggestions, they are not identical with T. dogieli.
