[1] The specific epithet is derived from the genus of the type-host, Mycteroperca tigris.

Pseudorhabdosynochus mycteropercae is a small monogenean, about 700 μm in length.

Kritsky, Bakenhaster & Adams (2015) wrote that Pseudorhabdosynochus mycteropercae differs from other members of the group of Pseudorhabdosynochus species infecting Mycteroperca species by having an open chamber of the vaginal sclerite (chamber of P. kritskyi, P. capurroi, P. vascellum, and P. contubernalis is closed; in P. hyphessometochus, the closed anterior wall of the chamber is formed by the two overlapping ends of the chamber wall).

In addition, the cavity of the chamber in P. vascellum is small (vs large in P. mycteropercae); the wall of the chamber in P. contubernalis has external projections (absent in P. mycteropercae); the distal portion of the distal tube of the vaginal sclerite is simply recurved in P. kritskyi, P. capurroi, and P. hyphessometochus (vs distal tube doubly recurved in P.

The type-locality is 8 miles north-west of St. George’s Island, Bermuda.
