Abstract: Helicometrina nimia (Opecoelidae) is a digenean with wide distribution. Fish families most commonly used as hosts for H. nimia are Serranidae, Pomodasydae, Scorpaenidae and Clinidae. In the present study, a new host and a new host locality are presented for the species. A description of the studied specimens, besides comments concerning its taxonomic status and biometrically compared tables of H. nimia reports are given. The taxonomic status of members of Helicometrina has been questionable. The greatest contr… Show more

“…The occurrence of different parasites has been reported in dusky grouper populations [ 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 ]. In particular, natural outbreaks associated with gnathiid isopod larvae have been observed in wild and captive E. marginatus , in some cases associated to significant haematophagia [ 12 , 13 ].…”

“…Otra especie con los mayores índices parasitológicos fue el trematodo H. nimia, el cual tiene una amplia distribución geográfica y de hospederos (Roumbedakis et al, 2014). Las familias de peces que usualmente usa como hospedero son las familias Serranidae, Pomodasydae, Scorpaenidae y Clinidae (Inzunza et al, 1989).…”
