Pennulituba is a genus of monogeneans belonging to the family Ancyrocephalidae (sometimes considered as belonging to the Dactylogyridae). [1]
Etymology
The generic name is derived from the Latin pennula ("winglet") and tuba ("tube"), referring to the male copulatory organ being characterized by a wing-shaped membrane. [1]
Host and Species
The two known species of the genus are parasitic on the gills of the yellowfin goatfish Mulloidichthys vanicolensis ( Mullidae) and were collected in the waters of the Pacific Ocean off New Caledonia. [1]
The following species are considered valid according to WorRMS: [2]
- Pennulituba cymansis Řehulková, Justine & Gelnar, 2010
- Pennulituba piratifalx Řehulková, Justine & Gelnar, 2010 (type-species)
