Cicesetrema unami n. gen., n. sp. (Digenea: Cryptogonimidae: Cryptogoniminae) from Paralichthys californicus (Ayres, 1859) (Osteichthyes: Pleuronectiformes: Paralichthydae) in San Quintin Bay, Baja California, Mexico.
Cicesetrema unami n. gen., n. sp. (Digenea: Cryptogonimidae) is described from the intestine of the California halibut, Paralichthys californicus, from San Quintin Bay, Baja California, Mexico. The new genus is distinguished from other members of the Cryptogoniminae in having vitellaria that form asymmetric bunches of follicles and extend in lateral fields from the level of the ovary posteriad beyond the testes. In addition, the species in the new genus possess a subterminal, funnel-shaped oral sucker that is prominent when protruded but usually retracted in a fold at the anterior end.
