Laticola cyanus is a species of diplectanid monogenean that is parasitic on the gills of the blue grouper Epinephelus cyanopodus . It was described in 2008. [1]
The species epithet, cyanus, blue in Latin, was based on the host name, Epinephelus cyanopodus . [1]
The type-host and only recorded host of L. cyanus is the blue grouper Epinephelus cyanopodus (Serranidae: Epinephelinae). The type-locality and only recorded locality is off Nouméa, New Caledonia. This grouper also harbours several species of the diplectanid genus Pseudorhabdosynochus , namely P. cyanopodus , P. chauveti , P. podocyanus , P. exoticus , P. duitoe , and P. huitoe , but Laticola cyanus is the only species belonging to the genus Laticola . [1]
