The status and composition of the genus Steringophorus Odhner, 1905 (Digenea: Fellodistomidae), based on partial small subunit rRNA sequences.
Analysis of partial small subunit (18S) rRNA sequences shows the paraphyly of the genus Steringophorus as currently recognised. In consequence it is necessary to change the conception of the genus by the transfer of the species Steringophorus agnotus and S. sebastodis back to their original genus, Fellodistomum.
