Allodiscocotylidae is a family of monogeneans within the order Mazocraeidea, containing 6 genera. [1] [2] Members of this family primarily host species of fish, such as Allodiscocotyla chorinemi hosting Scomberoides lysan . [3] [4]
Heteroconchia is a taxonomic infraclass of diverse bivalve molluscs, belonging to the subclass Autobranchia.
Tegula is a genus of small to medium-sized sea snails, marine gastropod molluscs in the family Tegulidae.
Carcharias is a genus of mackerel sharks belonging to the family Odontaspididae. Once bearing many prehistoric species, all have gone extinct with the exception of the critically endangered sand tiger shark.
Verticordiidae is a family of benthic marine bivalves in the superorder Anomalodesmata. These clams range from 2 - 200 millimeters in length and are mainly found in coastal waters surrounding Australia and the Americas, though a few species within this family such as Haliris mediopacifica are found in the middle of the ocean. Verticordiidae is known for being a family of septibranchs, or predatory bivalves, rather than filter feeders. Clams dig vertical burrows in substrate and use papillae around the edges of their inhalant siphons to detect microscopic prey. Some clams in this family, specifically in the genus Trigonulina, have distinct extended circular formations on their shells.
Mazocraeidea is an order in the subclass Polyopisthocotylea within class Monogenea.
Diclidophoridae is a family of monogeneans within the order Mazocraeidea.
Chauhaneidae is a family of monogeneans within the order Mazocraeidea. There are currently 17 genera assigned to the family.
Lepocreadiidae is a family of trematodes in the order Plagiorchiida.
Murraytrematoides is a genus of monopisthocotylean monogeneans in the family Diplectanidae.
Nasobranchitrema is a genus of monopisthocotylean monogeneans, belonging to the family Diplectanidae. The position of Nasobranchitrema within the family Diplectanidae is a matter of controversy. Oliver considered that the absence of squamodisc and adhesive plate in the haptor and the position of the ovary made the genus closer to the Ancyrocephalidae than to the Diplectanidae.
Pseudolamellodiscus is a genus of monopisthocotylean monogeneans in the family Diplectanidae. Species of Pseudolamellodiscus are parasites on the gills of marine perciform fish.
Haliris is a genus of the class Bivalvia of the family Verticordiidae.
Metamicrocotylinae is a subfamily within family Microcotylidae and class Monogenea. This subfamily was created by Yamaguti in 1963
Microcotylinae is a subfamily within family Microcotylidae and class Monogenea. This subfamily was created by Taschenberg in 1879.
Caballeraxine is a genus which belongs to the family Microcotylidae and class Monogenea. As all Monogenea, species of Caballeraxine are ectoparasites that affect their host by attaching themselves as larvae on the gills of the fish and grow into adult stage. This larval stage is called oncomiracidium, and is characterized as free swimming and ciliated.
Prosomicrocotylinae is a subfamily within family Microcotylidae and class Monogenea. Members of Prosomicrocotylinae are characterized by their haptor divided into two separate marginal frills, each of which extends along lateral margin of body proper.
Carangoliopsis is a monotypic genus of crustaceans belonging to the monotypic family Carangoliopsidae. The only species is Carangoliopsis spinulosa.
Pseudochauhanea is a genus of monogeneans within the family Chauhaneidae. There are currently 5 species assigned to the genus.
