Abstract

The redescription of Proctophantastes gillissi (Overstreet et Pritchard, 1977) (Trematoda: Zoogonidae) was made on specimens collected from Muraenolepis marmorata Günther, 1880 (Gadiformes) caught in the Ross Sea and the Amundsen Sea (Antarctic). The fish is a new host of this parasite. Phylogenetic relations of P. gillissi were inferred by Maximum Likelihood and Bayesian inference analysis of partial sequences from 28S rDNA. The findings from analysis of the molecular data are not consistent with the traditional point of view about the position of the genus ProctophantastesOdhner, 1911 in the subfamily Lepidophyllinae. The taxonomical position of the genus needs further revision.

Acknowledgments

The authors wish to thank Research Zoologist Anna J. Phillips, PhD (Smithsonian Institution, Washington, USA) for essential help with examination of the Proctophantastes gillissi holotype stored in the National Museum of Natural History. The work was supported by RFBR grant # 15-29-02528 and state order 0221–2014–0004.
