	abstract = {Neoechinorhynchus iraqensis sp. n. (Neoechinorhynchidae) is described from the freshwater mullet Liza abu (Heckel, 1843) in the Euphrates River, Iraq. The previous reports of Neoechinorhynchus agilis (Rudolphi, 1819) Van Cleave, 1916, from L. abu as well as from 4 other freshwater fishes in Iraq may refer to the new species. The new species is distinguished from all other species of the genus Neoechinorhynchus by a combination of characters including lemniscal size, inner lining of the body wall, shape of proboscis and neck, and size of proboscis hooks and testes. It is specifically separated from N. agilis by differences in size and shape of trunk, lemnisci, proboscis, proboscis hooks, and testes.},

(Acanthocephala: Neoechinorhynchidae) is described from Capoeta damascina (Valenciennes, 1842) (type host) and Capoeta trutta (Heckel, 1843) in the Greater and Lesser Zab Rivers, northern Iraq. The new species is unique among all other species of the genus by its characteristic paired para-vaginal muscular appendage and fragmented giant nuclei in the lemnisci. Eleven of the other 88 valid species of Neoechinorhynchus and N. zabensis have middle and posterior hooks of equal length. However. N. zabensis is distinguished from the others the size of trunk, proboscis, proboscis hooks and lemnisci, number of giant nuclei, position of female gonopore, and geographical and host distribution. It is also distinguished from six other species of Neoechinorhynchus previously reported from Iraq. Other distinguishing features are also included.},
