Squalonchocotyle euzeti n. sp. from Dalatias licha off Algeria. A, holotype, whole body. Due to the slender body, only limited anatomy is represented. Asterisk, level of seminal receptacle (outline of seminal receptacle drawn) and ovary. B – G, sclerites. H – J, extremities of sclerites.For A – J, numbers of sclerites are indicated. K, hamuli of various specimens. A – J, holotype; K, paratypes.
