Microcotyle bassensis is a species of monogenean, parasitic on the gills of a marine fish. It belongs to the family Microcotylidae. [1]
Microcotyle bassensis was first described by Florence Murray in 1931. [1] It was redescribed by Woolcock in 1936 from specimens forwarded to him by Murray, [3] and by Dillon et al., (1985) who completed the original and subsequent redescription of the adult's morphology. [4] Microcotyle bassensis was transferred by Caballero & Bravo-Hollis to the genus Paramicrocotyle as Paramicrocotyle bassensis. [2] Mamaev, in his revision of the family Microcotylidae, suppressed this combination, reassigned the species to the genus Microcotyle and considered Paramicrocotyle a junior subjective synonym of Microcotyle. [5]
A sequence of the species' ITS2 rDNA gene has been published. [6]
The type-host is the Southern sand flathead Platycephalus bassensis ( Platycephalidae ). [1] It was also recorded on other Platycephalidae; the bluespotted flathead Platycephalus caeruleopunctatus and the flathead Platycephalus haackei (currently Platycephalus richardsoni), [4] and from Platycephalus sp. [6]
Microcotyle bassensis was first described from fishes caught off Port Phillip Bay, Victoria, Australia. [1] It was also reported again from the type locality. [4] [6]
