| Abstract: | The new genus Bathymonorchis is defined and differentiated from the genera Monorchis and Allolasiotocus. B. polyipni (Reimer) n. comb., previously attributed to Monorchis, is described from Neoscopelus macrolepidotus and Polymetme corythaeola from the Atlantic off the coast of NW Africa. The new genus is characterised by its single vitelline field, multilobate ovary,
spinous blind portion of Looss' organ, lack of external seminal vesicle, testicular position and uterine configuration. |
