Taxonomy and description

Phylogenetic analysis has been conducted. [2]

Species

There are three genera and six species in the family Transvenidae: [3] [4] [a] [b]

Paratrajectura

ParatrajecturaAmin, Heckmann et Ali, 2018 contains one species:

Sclerocollum

SclerocollumSchmidt and Paperna, 1978 contains three species:

Trajectura

TrajecturaPichelin & Cribb, 2001 [1] contains two species: Trajectura is distinguished by the possession of only two cement glands and an anterior conical projection (function unknown) on the females. [1]

Diplosentis ikedai was found to share similar anatomical features (only two cement glands and an anterior conical projection on females) was renamed T. ikedai. [1]

T. perinsolens Was found parasitising the New Guinea wrasse Anampses neoguinaicus from the Great Barrier Reef, Queensland, Australia. [1]

Notes

  1. ↑ A binomial authority in parentheses indicates that the species was originally described in a genus other than the present genus.
  2. ↑ Pararhadinorhynchus Johnston & Edmonds, 1947 [5] including Pararhadinorhynchus magnus. [6] Pararhadinorhynchus is sometimes classified within the Diplosentidae. [6]
