Cichlidogyrus vandekerkhovei is a species of monopisthocotylean monogeneans in the family Ancyrocephalidae. It was first found infecting the gills of Ophthalmotilapia ventralis in Lake Tanganyika. It can be differentiated from its cogenerates by the unusual length of its dorsal transverse bar auricles.[1]
