“…Gallien (1937) had previously found Diclidophora minor on Gadus poutassou in the same locality, and it is almost certain that my specimen of Diclidophora minor came from the same host species. It seems distinctly possible also that the record of Baylis & Jones (1933) of D. denticulata from Merluccius merluccius at Plymouth was also a case of mistaken identity, for the 500 specimens of M. merluccius examined in the present study were parasitized only by Anthocotyle merluccii. Among the British marine Diclidophoroidea, then, only Plectanocotyle gurnardi appears to enjoy the hospitality of more than one host species, and in this case the hosts are closely related.…”

In recent years there have been several accounts of the occurrence of diclidophoroidean trematodes parasitic on the gills of fishes, e.g. Price (1943), Sproston (1946), Dawes (1947), Brinkmann (1952), and Chauhan (1953), and these accounts have included descriptions of the morphology of the parasites. The distribution records have revealed a generally high degree of host specificity and, in some species, a preference even for certain gill arches of the particular hosts, while the morphological descriptions have shown that there is a considerable variation in the form of the parasites, extending to various degrees of deviation from bilateral symmetry (PI. I, figs. 1–11). These morpho-logical variations are present in spite of the fact that the different parasites occupy such broadly similar habitats in the gill chambers of their respective hosts. But, as far as I am aware, this is the first attempt to investigate the distribution and morphology of the parasites in relation to their micro-habitats.

“…P. gibbonsia, from Scorpaeniformes, Gobiesociformes, Pleuronectiformes, Salmoniformes and Perciformes from off the western coast of North America, is a relatively elongate worm, with deeply lobed gonads (Johnson, 1949). P. syngnathi, from pipe-fishes [Syngnathidae: Gasterosteiformes] in the English Channel (Nicoll, 1913;Baylis & Jones, 1933;Baylis, 1939;Sproston, 1939) differs in its more elongate body-shape, greater egg-size, the saccular seminal vesicle (verified on specimen, BM(NH) 1932.11.28.29), more posterior genital pore, the separated gonads and the vitellarium not reaching to the ventral sucker.…”

Three new species of digenean are described from demersal fishes taken in deep waters of the northwestern and northeastern Atlantic Ocean: Podocotyle schistotesticulata n. sp. from Antimora rostrata; P. harrisae n. sp. from Coryphaenoides (Lionurus) carapinus; and Gaevskajatrema halosauropsi n. sp. from Halosauropsis macrochir. The status of the nominal species of the genus Podocotyle Dujardin, 1845 is presented in annotated summary, along with a tabulation of the distinctive characteristics of recognised species of the genus. Gaevskajatrema Gibson & Bray, 1982 is discussed and its diagnosis amended.

Prosorhynchoides gracilescens (Rudolphi, 1819) (Digenea: Bucephalidae) from Lophius piscatorius L. is a species complex: a redescription of this species (sensu stricto) from the western Mediterranean and the description of P. borealis n. sp. from the northern North-East Atlantic

The bucephalid digenean Prosorhynchoides gracilescens (Rudolphi, 1819) is a common intestinal parasite of the angler fish Lophius piscatorius in European marine waters. Detailed studies of new material collected off the coasts of both Marseilles and Corsica in the western Mediterranean, and comparison with museum material from the northern North-East Atlantic, indicated that the accepted concept of this species comprises two distinct taxa. The Mediterranean form occurs in relatively small numbers and has small eggs, a large rhynchus and a vitelline distribution that finishes well short of the rhynchus, whereas the NE Atlantic form, which comprises the majority of records, occurs often in large numbers, has larger eggs, a relatively smaller rhynchus and a vitelline distribution that tends to reach the rhynchus. Since the type-material is from the Mediterranean and resembles the Mediterranean form, there was little option but to consider the latter as P. gracilescens (sensu stricto) and to describe the NE Atlantic form as a new species, for which the name P. borealis n. sp. is coined to reflect its northerly distribution. Both species are described and figured in detail, and a table and illustration of the diagnostic features are presented. In addition, some discussion is included on the distribution of these two species and whether P. gracilescens (s. str.) might be a relict species, and on non-European records of P. gracilescens (sensu lato).
