Fifteen species of digeneans are reported from the waters off the islands of the Outer Hebrides, off north-western Scotland. Trifoliovarium allocytti comb. nov. from Neocyttus helgae is described, figured, and reported for the first time in the northern hemisphere. Brachyenteron helicoleni sp. nov. from Helicolenus dactylopterus is described and considered distinct from other species in the genital pore being at the level of the pharynx, the relatively narrow caeca, the vitellarium being mainly…

Steringophorus merretti n. sp. (Digenea: Fellodistomidae) from the deep-sea fish Cataetyx laticeps Koefoed (Ophidiiformes: Bythitidae) from the Goban Spur, Northeastern Atlantic Ocean

A phylogenetic tree, based on 28S rDNA sequences, indicates that this species is embedded within a clade of deep-sea species and is sister to the eurybathic species S. thulini Bray & Gibson, 1980.

This study documents the third family of digeneans (Zoogonidae) known to parasitize S. grandis, and it is a new host record (i.e., the first zoogonid reported from this host species).

Gastrointestinal helminth communities of the blackspot seabream Pagellus bogaraveo (Teleostei: Sparidae) from Portuguese north-east Atlantic waters.

Higher functional richness and evenness were obtained in helminth communities of P. bogaraveo from mainland waters, indicating a balanced use of available resources, which is suggestive of more stable gastrointestinal helminths communities in these waters.

Attention is drawn to the host-parasite relationship associating a lepocreadiine lepokreadiid with a perciform host, which may indicate that host and parasite have colonised the deep sea simultaneously and co-evolved in that environment.
