Ameloblastella is a genus of monogeneans belonging to the family Ancyrocephalidae. [1] [2] All members of the genus are parasitic on fish.
The following species are considered valid according to WoRMS: [2]
Dactylogyridae is a family of monogenean flatworms.
Cacatuocotyle is a genus of monogeneans.
Pseudorhabdosynochus is a genus of monopisthocotylean monogeneans, included in the family Diplectanidae. The type-species of the genus is Pseudorhabdosynochus epinepheli .
The Diplectanidae are a family of monopisthocotylean monogeneans. They are all parasitic on the gills of fish. Diplectanids are small animals, generally around 1 mm in length. As parasites, they can be extremely numerous, up to several thousand on an individual fish.
Alexandr Vladimirovich Gussev, sometimes spelled Gusev in the literature, was a Russian helminthologist specialist of monogeneans.
Aristocleidus is a genus of monogeneans erected by Justus F. Mueller in 1936. The genus has been revised by Delane C. Kritsky and Edgar F. Mendoza–Franco in 2008. The amended generic diagnosis is: species with gonads overlapping, ventral anchors with deeply incised base forming deep and superficial roots, a coiled tube of the male copulatory organ in a clockwise orientation, and haptoral hooks with upright acute thumb, slender shank comprising one subunit and FH loop.
Fundulotrema 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.
Pennulituba is a genus of monogeneans belonging to the family Ancyrocephalidae.
Volsellituba is a genus of monogeneans belonging to the family Ancyrocephalidae.
Aetheolabes is a genus of monopisthocotylean monogeneans in the family Diplectanidae.
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.
Kritskyia is a genus of monogeneans in the family Ancyrocephalidae.
Laticola is a genus of monopisthocotylean monogeneans, belonging to the family Diplectanidae. All known species are parasitic on the gills of marine fish, including members of Lates (Latidae) and Epinephelus (Serranidae).
Lepidotrema is a genus of monopisthocotylean monogeneans, belonging to the family Diplectanidae. All its species are parasites on fish. The type-species is Lepidotrema theraponJohnston & Tiegs, 1922.
Microcotyle archosargi is a species of monogenean, parasitic on the gills of a marine fish. It belongs to the family Microcotylidae. It was first described by MacCallum in 1913 based on ten specimens. Hargis (1956) pointed out that the description and figures given by MacCallum were poor in details.
Neodiplectanum is a genus of monopisthocotylean monogeneans, belonging to the family Diplectanidae. According to Mizelle & Blatz (1941), the genus Neodiplectanum "differs from DiplectanumDiesing, 1858, its closest relative, by the presence of two, instead of three, cuticular bars on the haptor". Oliver (1987) thought that the two genera were synonyms, but Neodiplectanum was resurrected later.
Octouncuhaptor is a genus of monopisthocotylean monogeneans in the family Ancyrocephalidae.
Rhabdosynochus is a genus of monopisthocotylean monogeneans, belonging to the family Diplectanidae.
Protolamellodiscus is a genus of monopisthocotylean monogeneans in the family Diplectanidae. All species of Protolamellodiscus are parasites of marine perciform fishes of the families Lethrinidae, Nemipteridae, Serranidae and Sparidae.
