A new genus for Diplectanum setosum Nagibina, 1976 (Monogenea: Dipletanidae), a parasite of Psammoperca waigiensis (Cuvier) (Perciformes: Latidae) from Okinawa-jima Island, Japan. <em>Systematic Parasitology.</em> , available online at https://doi.org/10.1007/s11230-019-09888-2 [details]
Nomenclature Nitta (2019) says that the generic name is feminine:

"Etymology: The genus name is a combination of the Latin word lateo...
Nomenclature Nitta (2019) says that the generic name is feminine:
