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]

gollark: I suppose that would work.
gollark: I mean, it says "robot" a lot in the text so it's probably copy pasted.
gollark: Apparently they cannot do anything with that as they do not have a tool slot.
