Neodiplectanum

See text Neodiplectanum is a genus of monopisthocotylean monogeneans, belonging to the family Diplectanidae.

[1][2] According to Mizelle & Blatz (1941), the genus Neodiplectanum "differs from Diplectanum Diesing, 1858, its closest relative, by the presence of two, instead of three, cuticular bars on the haptor".

[1] Oliver (1987)[3] thought that the two genera were synonyms, but Neodiplectanum was resurrected later.

[4] Species of Neodiplectanum are parasitic on the gills of fish of the family Gerreidae.

[4] According to the World Register of Marine Species, species in this genus include:[2]

A gerrid , a member of the family of fish which harbours species of Neodiplectanum
