Satyu Yamaguti wrote more than 60 scientific papers and, more importantly, several huge monographs which are still in use by scientists all over the world and were cited over 1,000 times each.
Capsalidae is a family of monopisthocotylean monogeneans, which includes about 200 species.
Neolebouria is a genus of trematodes in the family Opecoelidae.
Philophthalmidae is a family of trematodes in the order Plagiorchiida.
Cyathocotylidae is a family of trematodes in the order Diplostomida.
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.
Lepocreadiidae is a family of trematodes in the order Plagiorchiida.
Allopseudaxine is a genus which belongs to the phylum Platyhelminthes and class Monogenea; all its species are parasites of fish.
Bivagina is a genus of monogeneans. As all Monogenea, species in the genus are ectoparasites that affect their host by attaching themselves as larvae on the gills of fish and grow into adult stage. This larval stage is called oncomiracidium, and is characterized as free swimming and ciliated.
Apatemon is a genus of flatworms belonging to the family Strigeidae.
Cryptogonimidae is a family of trematodes belonging to the order Plagiorchiida.
