Anchoromicrocotylinae is a subfamily within family Microcotylidae and class Monogenea. This subfamily was created by Bravo-Hollis in 1981, to accommodate Monogeneans recovered from the gills of Atractoscion nobilis (Sciaenidae) caught off California. In the same work, Bravo-Hollis in 1981 created the new genus Anchoromicrocotyle and amended the diagnosis of the family Microcotylidae. Members of Anchoromicrocotylinae differ from other Microcotylidae by the presence of a larval organ and larval hooks and the structure of the genital complex.

Anchoromicrocotyle is a genus which belongs to the family Microcotylidae and class Monogenea. Species of Anchoromicrocotyle 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. As all Anchoromicrocotylinae, members of Anchoromicrocotyle are characterized by a larval organ and larval hooks and the structure of their genital complex. This genus was creatad by Bravo-Hollis in 1981, to accommodate Monogeneans recovered from the gills of Atractoscion nobilis (Sciaenidae) caught off California. In the same work, Bravo-Hollis in 1981 created a new subfamily Anchoromicrocotylinae and emened the diagnosis of the family Microcotylidae.

Atriasterinae is a subfamily within family Microcotylidae and class Monogenea. This subfamily was created by Maillard & Noisy in 1979.

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.

Syncoelicotylinae is a subfamily within family Microcotylidae and class Monogenea.

Syncoelicotyloides is a genus which belongs to the family Microcotylidae and class Monogenea. Species of Syncoelicotyloides 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.
