(Opecoelidae: Plagioporinae) is described from the cusk-eel, Luciobrotula corethromycter Cohen, 1964 (Ophidiiformes: Ophidiidae), collected at depths of 622-1,280 m in the northern Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean Sea off Colombia. The new species is distinguished by possessing a combination of the following features: an elongate oval body shape, a sucker width ratio of 1:1.4-1.9, deeply lobed and irregularly-shaped testes, a cirrus-sac that extends just in to the hindbody, a trilobed ovary and vitellarium that extend to the ventral sucker level. Several unique features in P. bathyhelminthos n. sp. were not present in all, or almost all, recognized species of Podocotyle including a conspicuous deep cleft at the posterior end of the worm, a small transverse ridge on the ventral surface immediately anterior to the ventral sucker, uterine loops extending ventral to the caeca and, at times, lateral to the caeca, a thick-walled metraterm extending 1\/3 to 1\/2 the length of the cirrus-sac and P. bathyhelminthos n. sp. parasitizes a deep water piscine host. Podocotyle etheostomae Aliff, 1973 is declared a nomen nudum. A brief discussion of Podocotyle Dujardin, 1845 in deep waters is presented, and a gastropod, caridean shrimp and cusk-eel are hypothesized as hosts in the life cycle of P. bathyhelminthos n. sp. in the deep sea.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1515\/ap-2015-0033","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,4,20]],"date-time":"2015-04-20T09:27:21Z","timestamp":1429522041000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Description of a new species of Podocotyle Dujardin, 1845 (Digenea: Opecoelidae: Plagioporinae) from the cusk-eel, Luciobrotula corethromycter Cohen, 1964 (Ophidiiformes: Ophidiidae), from the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean Sea"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"60","author":[{"given":"Charles K.","family":"Blend","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Norman O.","family":"Dronen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","reference":[{"key":"ref361","first-page":"1","article-title":"On a new trematode Podocotyle ayu n sp from the intestine of Plecoglossus altivelis and ) Medica","author":"Takahashi","year":"1928","journal-title":"Acta Okayama"},{"key":"ref141","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1845","DOI":"10.1080\/00222938600770511","article-title":"Podocotyle araii sp nov from Sebastes spp off the coast of British Columbia with a key to the species of Podocotyle Dujardin occurring off the Pacific coast of North America of","author":"Gibson","year":"1986","journal-title":"Journal Natural History"},{"key":"ref201","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"103","DOI":"10.2307\/3272491","article-title":"Some digenetic trematodes from Puget Sound fish of","volume":"24","author":"Lloyd","year":"1938","journal-title":"Journal Parasitology"},{"key":"ref281","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"10","DOI":"10.1017\/S0025315400008250","article-title":"The trematode parasites of fishes from the English Channel of the Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom","author":"Nicoll","year":"1914","journal-title":"Journal"},{"key":"ref101","first-page":"37","article-title":"Digenetic trematodes of marine fishes from Ghana : Family Opecoelidae Proceedings of the Helminthological Society of","author":"Fischthal","year":"1970","journal-title":"Washington"},{"key":"ref191","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"68","DOI":"10.2307\/3223258","article-title":"A new species of trematode Podocotyle gibbonsia from tide pool fishes of Monterey Bay California Transactions of the American","author":"Johnson","year":"1949","journal-title":"Microscopical Society"},{"key":"ref51","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"83","DOI":"10.2307\/3284227","article-title":"Parasitology meets ecology on its own terms : al revisited of","author":"Bush","year":"1997","journal-title":"Journal Parasitology"},{"key":"ref151","first-page":"124","article-title":"Trematoda In : and Guide to the Parasites of Fishes of Canada Part IV Canadian Special Publication of Fisheries and Aquatic Ottawa Canada","author":"Gibson","year":"1996","journal-title":"Sciences"},{"key":"ref171","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"529","DOI":"10.1080\/00222938200770431","article-title":"A study and reorganization of Plagioporus Stafford and related genera with special reference to forms from European Atlantic waters of","volume":"16","author":"Gibson","year":"1982","journal-title":"Journal Natural History"},{"key":"ref161","article-title":"Podocotyle Dujardin Accessed through : World Register of Marine Species WoRMS at http : www marinespecies org aphia php p taxdetails id on","volume":"27","author":"Gibson","year":"2014","journal-title":"October"},{"key":"ref181","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1957","DOI":"10.1080\/00222938400770831","article-title":"On Anomalotrema Zhukov Pellamyzon Montgomery and Opecoelina Manter with a description of Anomalotrema koiae sp nov from North Atlantic waters of","volume":"18","author":"Gibson","year":"1984","journal-title":"Journal Natural History"},{"key":"ref01","first-page":"75","article-title":"Preliminary notes on a trematode with two yolk reservoirs and a new species of Lecithochirium Philippine Journal of","author":"Acena","year":"1941","journal-title":"Science"},{"key":"ref41","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"119","DOI":"10.1017\/S0031182000084687","article-title":"Digenean parasites of deep -
