Euzetia

Euzetia is the only genus in the subfamily Euzetiinae, a group of poos which parasitize Elasmobranchs.

E. occultum parasitizes the Australian cownose ray, Rhinoptera neglecta, while E. lamothei parasitizes a different species in the same genus, the cownose ray, Rhinoptera bonasus.

[2] Both species inhabit the gills of their respective hosts.

The genus is differentiated from other genera based on the morphology of the haptor, and is named for the French parasitologist Louis Euzet.
