Paramicrocotyle cepolae (Yamaguti, 1938) Caballero & Bravo-Hollis, 1972 [1] Microcotyle cepolae is a species of monogenean, parasitic on the gills of a marine fish.

[2] In 1972, Caballero y Caballero and Bravo-Hollis erected the genus Paramicrocotyle to describe Paramicrocotyle tampicensis and Paramicrocotyle atriobursata off Mexico, and placed within this genus sixteen species previously assigned to the genus Microcotyle[3] including M.

[1] However, this species was returned to the genus Microcotyle by Mamaev in 1986.

[4] The host-type is the bandfish Cepola schlegelii (Cepolidae).

[2] Microcotyle cepolae was reported again from the type-host and locality.
