Microcotyle cepolae is a species of monogenean, parasitic on the gills of a marine fish. It belongs to the family Microcotylidae.[2]

Systematics

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]

Hosts and localities

A species of bandfish similar to the one which is the host of Microcotyle cepolae

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]

gollark: I only want to have to scale to 500 or so, tops.

gollark: It WOULD be cheap, if it wasn't also done hilariously inefficiently.

gollark: It's a text grid.

gollark: Rendering in THIS is cheap. It's not 3D. Or 2D.

gollark: If the rendering was efficient the server load would be fine, though.
