Polylabris [Polylabris]

Description

Polylabris is a genus of gill flukes in the family Mazocraeidae, known for parasitizing marine teleosts. These parasites exhibit a high degree of specialization in their attachment organs, which allows them to firmly attach to the gill tissues of their hosts. Polylabris species are distinguished by their elongate, ribbon-like bodies and the presence of specialized structures for reproduction and attachment, making them highly adapted to a parasitic lifestyle in marine environments.
