Taxonomic remark For a long time, this species has been referred to as Achtheres corpulentus Kellicott, 1880 because Kellicott (1880) provided the first illustrated description of this parasite. Unfortunately, in his paper, Kellicott used only a vernacular name (“The gill herring-sucker”) which makes it unavailable taxonomically. In the paper published two years later (Kellicott 1882) the scientific name “Achtheres Corpulentus” was provided which makes this name available (as of 1882). Therefore, this original name of this species is Achtheres corpulentus Kellicott, 1882. It is accepted as Salmincola corpulentus (Kellikott, 1880). [details]
