Microcotyle cepolae is a species of monogenean, parasitic on the gills of a marine fish. It belongs to the family Microcotylidae. [2]
Microcotyle cepolae was first described by Yamaguti in 1938. [2] In 1972, Caballero y Caballero and Bravo-Hollis erected the genus Paramicrocotyle to describe Paramicrocotyle tampicensis and Paramicrocotyle atriobursata off Mexico, and placed within this genus sixteen species previously assigned to the genus Microcotyle [3] including M. cepolae. [1] However, this species was returned to the genus Microcotyle by Mamaev in 1986. [4]
The host-type is the bandfish Cepola schlegelii ( Cepolidae). The type-locality is off Japan. [2] Microcotyle cepolae was reported again from the type-host and locality. [5]
