Diplectanidae
The Diplectanidae are a family of monopisthocotylean monogeneans. They are all parasitic on the gills of fish (marine or freshwater). Diplectanids are small animals, generally around 1 mm in length. As parasites, they can be extremely numerous, up to several thousand on an individual fish. History The family Diplectanidae was proposed by the Italian parasitologist Monticelli in 1903 (as subfamily Diplectaninae). The status of the family and its components was later examined by various authors, including Johnston & Tiegs (1922), Price (1937),Price, E. W. 1937: North American Monogenetic Trematodes. I. The superfamily Gyrodactyloidea ''Journal of the Washington Academy of Sciences'' 27, 146-164PDF Bychowsky (1957), Yamaguti (1963), and Oliver (1987). Morphology Diplectanids are diagnosed by the combination of these three characters: * Presence of accessory adhesive organs on dorsal and ventral part of the haptor, called squamodiscs when they are made up of rodlets and lame ...

Pseudorhabdosynochus Morrhua
''Pseudorhabdosynochus'' is a genus of monopisthocotylean monogeneans, included in the family Diplectanidae. The type-species of the genus is ''Pseudorhabdosynochus epinepheli'' ( Yamaguti, 1938). The genus includes more than 80 species, which are all parasitic on the gills of marine fish, especially groupers. Since groupers are mostly abundant in warm waters, species of ''Pseudorhabdosynochus'' are found in warm parts of the oceans, especially in coral reefs, but species have also been found in deep-sea groupers. Several species of ''Pseudorhabdosynochus'' are pathogens of maricultured groupers. Morphology All species of ''Pseudorhabdosynochus'' are small animals, ranging 0.3–1 mm in length. As most monogeneans, they are flat, with an anterior head bearing four oculi and head glands, a main elongate body and a posterior haptor. The digestive system includes an anterior muscular pharynx, and two lateral intestinal branches (or caeca); as in all Platyhelminthes, there ...

Calydiscoides
''Calydiscoides'' is a genus of monopisthocotylean monogeneans, included in the family Diplectanidae. The genus currently includes 16 species, which are all parasitic on the gills of marine fish of the family Lethrinidae and Nemipteridae. All species are from the Indo-Pacific Ocean. The type-species of the genus is ''Calydiscoides australis'' Young, 1969. Morphology All species of ''Calydiscoides'' are small animals, ranging 0.5–1 mm in length. As with most monogeneans, they are flat, with an anterior head bearing four oculi and head glands, a main elongate body and a posterior haptor. The digestive system includes an anterior muscular pharynx, and two lateral intestinal branches (or caeca); as in all Platyhelminthes, there is no anus. The haptor, in the posterior part of the body, is a specialized organ used to attach to the host (biology), host. The haptor includes sclerotized elements, namely a ventral bar, two lateral (dorsal) bars, two ventral hooks, and two dorsal ...

Squamodisc
Squamodiscs are epidermal structures, which are typical of and found only in certain monogeneans of the family Diplectanidae. There are, typically, two squamodiscs, one ventral and one dorsal, located on the haptor of the monogenean. Squamodiscs are usually made up of scales embedded in the epidermis, which appear from the outside as rodlets arranged in rows. According to the classical book of Bychowsky (1967), Bychowsky, B. E.

English translation by the American Institute of Biological Science, Washington. 509 pp. “the Diplectanidae] have special paired attaching formations lying above the disc and also partially on it, on the dorsal and ventral sides in the shape of small rounded convexities equipped with numerous ..thorn-shaped little hooks or thin thread-like plates located more or less in concentric rows ("squamodisc")".

Lamellodisc
Lamellodiscs are epidermal structures, which are typical of and found only in certain monogeneans of the family Diplectanidae. There are, typically, two lamellodiscs, one ventral and one dorsal, located on the haptor of the monogenean. Lamellodiscs are made up of concentric lamellae embedded in the epidermis. Lamellodiscs are considered as special type of squamodiscs, which are homologous structure found in many diplectanid monogeneans but formed of rows of rodlets instead of lamellae. Lamellodiscs are found in members of the diplectanid genera '' Lamellodiscus'' or ''Calydiscoides ''Calydiscoides'' is a genus of monopisthocotylean monogeneans, included in the family Diplectanidae.
