Cichlidogyrus kmentovae is a species of monopisthocotylean monogenean in the family Ancyrocephalidae (or Dactylogyridae according to certain classifications). It is a parasite of the gills of the fish Hemichromis stellifer (Perciforme, Cichlidae) of the lower Basin of River Congo.[1]

Etymology

According to Jorissen et al. (2018), the specific epithet kmentovae refers to "biologist Nikol Kmentová (Czech Republic), an enthusiastic researcher on the monogenean fauna of Lake Tanganyika".[1]
