Allogastrocotyle Nasir & Fuentes Zambrano, 1984 [1] |
Allogastrocotyle is a genus within the phylum Platyhelminthes and class Monogenea. The only species in this genus (Allogastrocotyle bivaginalis) is parasitic upon fish. [1] [2] [3]
Systematics
Allogastrocotyle was established to accommodate Allogastrocotyle bivaginalis from the gills of the rough scad Trachurus lathami, and designated as the type species of the genus. [1] This genus resembles Gastrocotyle and Pseudaxine especially in having a haptor developed on one side of the body. However, it differs by the following features:
- Two ventro-lateral vaginal pores, one on each side of the body.
- Clamps supported by short peduncles.
- Haptor occupying two longitudinal thirds of the body. [1]
Species
Allogastrocotyle includes one species:
- Allogastrocotyle bivaginalis Nasir & Fuentes Zambrano, 1984 [1]
