A Closer Look at the Choricotyle chrysophryi-like (Polyopisthocotyla: Diclidophoridae) Species Complex: Description of a New Choricotyle from the Gills of Pagellus acarne (Teleostei: Sparidae) and Revision of Choricotyle spp. from Sparids
This study clarifies the taxonomic status of C. chrysophryi and related species, describing C. justinemusei n. sp. and reinstating C. pagelli and C. marionis as valid species. These findings contribute to a more accurate understanding of Choricotyle species and their host specificity.
