Conteúdo: 	The aim of this study was to investigate monogenean fauna in gills of Geophagus camopiensis, Pterophyllum scalare, Satanoperca jurupari,and Satanoperca acuticeps in a tributary from the Amazon River system in Brazil. A total of 2,148 monogenean specimens were collected from140 fish examined from March 2012 to March 2013, and 84.3% of these fish were parasitized by 1 or more species. Such monogeneans were:Sciadicleithrum geophagi, Sciadicleithrum juruparii, Gussevia spiralocirra and Gyrodactylus sp. However, only G. camopiensis was parasitizedby more than 1 species of monogenean, while S. jurupari and S. acuticeps were parasitized by the same species. Prevalence, mean intensity andmean abundance varied among host species and the highest levels of infection were by G. spiralocirra followed by S. geophagi, both parasiteswith aggregated dispersion. Abundance of monogeneans was not influenced by the size of the host. In G. camopiensis, the infection levels byS. geophagi did not vary during the rainy or drainage seasons. This is the first study on monogenean infections for G. camopiensis and S. acuticeps.
