Etheostoma is a genus of small freshwater fish in the family Percidae native to North America. Most are restricted to the United States, but species are also found in Canada and Mexico. They are commonly known as darters, although the term "darter" is shared by several other genera. Many can produce alarm pheromones that serve to warn nearby fish in case of an attack.
The splendid darter is a species of freshwater ray-finned fish, a darter from the subfamily Etheostomatinae, part of the family Percidae, which also contains the perches, ruffes and pikeperches. It is endemic to the Barren River system in south-central Kentucky and north-central Tennessee. This species is usually found in small rocky pools on the sides of creeks and rivers.
Gyrodactylidae is a family of flatworms in the order Gyrodactylidea.

Louis Euzet was a French parasitologist.
Hexabothriidae is a family of monogenean parasites. The family name was proposed by Emmett W. Price in 1942. The family includes 14-16 genera according to authors and about 60 species; all are parasitic on the gills of chondrichthyan fishes.
Nothonotus is a genus or subgenus of freshwater ray-finned fish, a darter from the subfamily Etheostomatinae, part of the family Percidae, which also contains the perches, ruffes and pikeperches. It is endemic to the southeastern United States. First proposed as a sub-genus of Etheostoma in 1988, there is still debate regarding the appropriate taxonomic rank of Nothonotus in the literature. Darter species comprise more than 180 of the Percidae taxa.
Polyclithrum is a genus of monogeneans in the family Gyrodactylidae.
Ancyrocephalidae is a family of monogenean flatworms. The family is considered as a "temporary name" in WorMS but includes a large number of genera and species.

Delane C. Kritsky is an American parasitologist who specialised on the Monogenea, a class of parasitic flatworms which are important ectoparasites of fishes. His research was mainly in the fields of taxonomy, faunistics, and phylogeny of the Monogenea.
Pseudorhabdosynochus cupatus is a species of diplectanid monogenean parasitic on the gills of groupers.
Pseudorhabdosynochus lantauensis is a diplectanid monogenean parasitic on the gills of the longtooth grouper, Epinephelus bruneus. It was described in 1981 as Cycloplectanum lantauensis and later transferred to the genus Pseudorhabdosynochus by Kritsky & Beverley-Burton in 1986.
Pseudorhabdosynochus melanesiensis is a diplectanid monogenean parasitic on the gills of the grouper, Epinephelus merra. It was described in 1958 as Diplectanum melanesiensis then transferred to the genus Pseudorhabdosynochus by Kritsky & Beverley-Burton in 1986.
Pseudorhabdosynochus vagampullum is a species of diplectanid monogenean parasitic on the gills of a grouper. It was described in 1969, from eight specimens, under the name Diplectanum vagampullum and transferred to the genus Pseudorhabdosynochus in 1986. The species has been redescribed several times.
