Pseudaxine indicana

Pseudaxine indicana is a species of monogenean flatworm, which is parasitic on the gills of a marine fish.

[1] It is a species dubia due to the incomplete description, the lack of material, and the unusual host.

The haptor is fan-shaped and asymmetrical, inclined to the body but separated from it by a notch, and bears 19 clamps, arranged in a single row.

The extreme of the haptor carries an elongated proboscis-like process called "the terminal lapet", bearing in the middle of its length a pair of hooks.

The reproductive organs include an anterior genital atrium, armed with 24 hooks, a single vagina, an elongate cylindrical ovary and 40 small follicular testespost-ovarian, lying irregularly in the inter-crural field anteriorly in two rows and posteriorly in three rows in posterior half of body proper.

Acanthopagrus berda is the type host of Pseudaxine indicana
