Laticola is a genus of monopisthocotylean monogeneans, belonging to the family Diplectanidae. [1] [2] All known species are parasitic on the gills of marine fish, including members of Lates (Latidae) and Epinephelus (Serranidae).

Contents

The genus was proposed for species with a spoon-shaped male copulatory organ with two to four concentric incomplete ridges in the base. [1]

Etymology

The generic name is derived from the genus of the type-host, Lates .
