“A Tale Preserved in a Museum”: The Long-Awaited Discovery of Genitocotyle necromnemos n. sp. (Trematoda: Opecoelidae) from the Cardinal Fish Apogon imberbis (Linnaeus) in the Western Mediterranean

This study highlights the importance of museum collections for the clarification of taxonomic uncertainties and the expansion of knowledge about the biodiversity of trematodes. The result contribute the systematics of opecoelines and emphasise the ecological and biogeographical importance of Genitocotyle spp. in marine fish hosts.

Abstract

This study highlights the importance of museum collections for the clarification of taxonomic uncertainties and the expansion of knowledge about the biodiversity of trematodes. The result contribute the systematics of opecoelines and emphasise the ecological and biogeographical importance of Genitocotyle spp. in marine fish hosts.
