Labracetabulum is a genus of trematodes in the family Opecoelidae. Cribb's review of Labracetabulum synonymised it with Prolabria Reimer, 1987,[1] which led to the synonymisation of P. monocentris Reimer, 1987[1] to L. monocentris (Reimer, 1987) Cribb, 2005.
Morphology[edit]
Species of Labracetabulum are distinguished by the lack of a cirrus-sac, the use of separate ani proximal to the excretory pore to open the caeca, and distinct anterior and posterior lips on the ventral sucker.
Species[edit]
- Labracetabulum gephyroberici Reimer, 1987[1]
- Labracetabulum monocentris (Reimer, 1987) Cribb, 2005[1][2]
