Taxonomic remark Cucullanus stossichi Barreto, 1922 was reported from
a North American serranid fish Mycteroperca venenosa
(Linnaeus), but this inadequately described species was
based on data of Linton (1905, 1907) (see Barreto 1922),
who had evidently misidentified his specimens, collected
from hosts belonging to several families, as Heterakis foveolata
(= Cucullanus foveolatus Rudolphi, 1809, a junior
synonym of C. cirratus Müller, 1777, a parasite of gadiform
fishes). However, in view of the improbability of a single
cucullanid species occurring in such a wide range of hosts,
it is probable that C. stossichi represents several species
and should be considered a species inquirenda. [details]
