Cyprinid fishes are known to harbour highly host-specific gill-associated parasites of  Dactylogyrus . High similarity in the morphology of sclerotized structures among  Dactylogyrus  species, especially those parasitizing congeneric cyprinoids, makes their identification difficult. In this paper, four previously known species of  Dactylogyrus  are characterized and illustrated under a reliable taxonomic framework integrating morphological and molecular evidence, and their phylogenetic relationships are investigated using molecular data. The species are as follows:  D. borjensis  from  Luciobarbus zayanensis ;  D. draaensis  from  Luciobarbus lepineyi ;  D. ksibii  from  Luciobarbus ksibi  and  Luciobarbus rabatensis ; and  D. marocanus  from  Carasobarbus fritschii, L. ksibi, L. zayanensis  and  Pterocapoeta maroccana . Our results revealed intraspecific genetic variability among specimens of  D. ksibii  collected from two different hosts and geographically distant basins. Phylogenetic reconstruction showed that  Dactylogyrus  spp. parasitizing Moroccan cyprinids are representatives of three main lineages corresponding to morphological differences and host specificity. Our records of  D. marocanus  on  L. zayanensis  and  P. maroccana  increase the range of available host species i.e.,eight species of four cyprinid genera representing two phylogenetic lineages (i.e., Barbinae and Torinae).
