Liolope Copulans
''Liolope'' is a monotypic genus of trematodes, or fluke worms, belonging to the family Liolopidae. The only species is ''Liolope copulans''. Baba et al. (2011) classified this species in the family Liolopidae, superfamily Diplostomoidea. Distribution This species occurs in Japan. Life cycle The first intermediate hosts of ''Liolope copulans'' include freshwater snails '' Semisulcospira libertina''.Baba T., Hosoi M., Urabe M., Shimazu T., Tochimoto T. & Hasegawa H. (2011).

The second (experimental) intermediate host include fish ''Nipponocypris sieboldii'' and ''Rhynchocypris lagowskii The Amur minnow or Lagowski's minnow (''Rhynchocypris lagowskii'') is an Asian species of small freshwater cyp ...

Ludwig Cohn
Ludwig Cohn (1873 – 1935) was a German naturalist. Beginning in 1904 he worked as a zoological assistant at the '' Städtischen Museum für Natur-, Völker- und Handelskunde'' (Municipal Museum of natural history, ethnology and trade history) in Bremen, under the direction of Hugo Schauinsland (1857–1937). In 1920 he was promoted to head of the natural history department at the museum. He is known for two scientific trips to what is now part of Papua New Guinea, being sponsored by the Bremen museum. His first journey (1908/09) was to the Solomon Islands. With explorer Karl Nauer (1874–1962), he performed scientific research on Buka and Bougainville, collecting an array of natural and ethnographic objects. As a result of the expedition, a ''Junggesellenhaus'' (bachelor dwelling) from the island of Tijob, and a ''Familienwohnhaus'' (family house) from the settlement of Toboroi, became centerpieces at the opening of the South Seas Exhibition (1911) at the Bremen museum. ...

Monotypic Genus
In biology, a monotypic taxon is a taxonomic group (taxon) that contains only one immediately subordinate taxon. A monotypic species is one that does not include subspecies or smaller, infraspecific taxa. In the case of genera, the term "unispecific" or "monospecific" is sometimes preferred. In botanical nomenclature, a monotypic genus is a genus in the special case where a genus and a single species are simultaneously described. In contrast, an oligotypic taxon contains more than one but only a very few subordinate taxa. Examples Just as the term ''monotypic'' is used to describe a taxon including only one subdivision, the contained taxon can also be referred to as monotypic within the higher-level taxon, e.g. a genus monotypic within a family. Some examples of monotypic groups are: Plants * In the order Amborellales, there is only one family, Amborellaceae and there is only one genus, '' Amborella'', and in this genus there is only one species, namely ''Amborella trichopoda.' ...

Trematodes
Trematoda is a class of flatworms known as flukes. They are obligate internal parasites with a complex life cycle requiring at least two hosts. The intermediate host, in which asexual reproduction occurs, is usually a snail. The definitive host, where the flukes sexually reproduce, is a vertebrate. Infection by trematodes can cause disease in all five traditional vertebrate classes: mammals, birds, amphibians, reptiles, and fish. Etymology Trematodes are commonly referred to as flukes. This term can be traced back to the Old English name for flounder, and refers to the flattened, rhomboidal shape of the organisms. Taxonomy There are 18,000 to 24,000 known species of trematodes, divided into two subclasses — the Aspidogastrea and the Digenea. Aspidogastrea is the smaller subclass, comprising 61 species. These flukes mainly infect bivalves and bony fishes.https://www.biotaxa.org/Zootaxa/article/view/zootaxa.3918.3.2 Digenea — which comprise the majority of trematodes — ...
