Metamicrocotyla
Systematics and morphology ''Metamicrocotyla'' is a genus which belongs to the family Microcotylidae and class Monogenea. It was created by Yamaguti in 1953 to include ''Metamicrocotyla bora'' and ''Metamicrocotyla filiformis'' from the gills off the flathead grey mullet ''Mugil cephalus'' (Mugilidae).Yamaguti, S.

Acta Medicinae Okayama, 8(3)PDF As all Monogenea, species of ''Metamicrocotyla'' are ectoparasite Parasitism is a close relationship between species, where one organism, the parasite, lives on or inside another organism, the host, causing it some harm, and is adapted structurally to this way of life. The entomologist E. O. Wilson has ...s that affect their host by attaching themselves as larvae on the gills of the fish and grow into adult stage.

Oncomiracidium
An oncomiracidium is the ciliated and free-living larva of a monogenean, a type of parasitic flatworm commonly found on fish. It is similar to the miracidium of Trematoda, but has sclerotised Sclerotin is a component of the cuticle of various Arthropoda, most familiarly insects. It is formed by cross-linking members of particular classes of protein molecules, a biochemical process called sclerotization, a form of tanning in which qu ...
