Gyrodactylus bullatarudis Turnbull, 1956, and Gyrodactylus turnbulli Harris, 1986, are recorded from guppies (Poecilia reticulata) from the northern mountains of Trinidad. Mixed infections of the 2 species were found at 9 localities. Gyrodactylus turnbulli had a predominantly posterior distribution on the fishes, whereas G. bullatarudis was more anteriorly distributed. This is the first record of these species from guppies collected from within their original range.
1956年特恩布尔描述的布氏三代虫(Gyrodactylus bullatarudis Turnbull)以及1986年哈里斯描述的特氏三代虫(Gyrodactylus turnbulli Harris),在特立尼达北部山区的孔雀鱼(Poecilia reticulata)身上被发现。在9个地点发现了这两种寄生虫的混合感染情况。特氏三代虫主要分布在鱼体后部,而布氏三代虫则更多地分布在鱼体前部。这是这些物种在其原生范围内采集的孔雀鱼身上的首次记录。
