“…Plagioporus, now considered a freshwater genus, will be in this clade. The clade consisting of Podocotyloides brevis Andres et Overstreet, 2013 from 200 m depth (Andres and Overstreet 2013) and Neolebouria lanceolata (Price, 1934) from 329-430 m (Andres et al 2014b), both in the Gulf of Mexico/Puerto Rico region, is biologically reasonable, although, apart from being typical 'plagioporines', they share no obvious morphological synapomorphy (Price 1934).…”

Large and small rDNA sequences of 41 species of the family Opecoelidae are utilised to produce phylogenetic inference trees, using brachycladioids and lepocreadioids as outgroups. Sequences were newly generated for 13 species. The resulting Bayesian trees show a monophyletic Opecoelidae. The earliest divergent group is the Stenakrinae, based on two species which are not of the type-genus. The next well-supported clade to diverge is constituted of three species of Helicometra Odhner, 1902. Based on this tree and the characters of the egg and uterus, a new subfamily, the Helicometrinae, is erected and defined to include the genera Helicometra, Helicometrina Linton, 1910 and Neohelicometra Siddiqi et Cable, 1960. The subfamily Opecoelinae is found to be monophyletic, but the Plagioporinae is paraphyletic. The single representative of the Opecoelininae (not of the type genus) is nested within a group of deep-sea 'plagioporines'. The two representatives of the Opistholebetidae are embedded within a group of shallow-water 'plagioporine' species. The Opistholebetidae is reduced to subfamily status pro tem as its morphological and biological characteristics are distinctive. This implies that as opecoelid systematics develops with more molecular evidence, several further subfamilies will be recognised. Many of the morphological characters were found to be homoplasious, but the characters defining the Helicometrinae and Opecoelinae, such as filamented eggs, reduced cirrus-sac and uterine seminal receptacle, are closely correlated with the inferred phylogeny.

“…The four subfamily arrangement of the Opecoelidae, comprising the Opecoelinae, Plagioporinae, Stenakrinae, and Opecoelininae, dominated understanding of the group until recently. Some early phylogenetic efforts (Andres, Pulis & Overstreet, ; Curran, Overstreet, & Tkach, ; Shedko, Sokolov, & Atopkin, ) flagged potential problems with this classification hypothesis, but it was not until Bray, Cribb, Littlewood, and Waeschenbach () significantly increased the breadth of opecoelid taxa represented by phylogenetically informative sequence data that it became clear that opecoelids with both a well‐developed cirrus‐sac and a canalicular seminal receptacle did not form a monophyletic assemblage and, therefore, that the Plagioporinae would need to be divided into several subfamilies. Genuine species of the type genus, Plagioporus , are probably restricted to freshwater fishes (Cribb, ; Gibson & Bray, ) and sequence data generated by Fayton and Andres (), Fayton, Choudhury, McAllister, and Robison (), Fayton, McAllister, Robison, and Connior () and Sokolov, Shchenkov, and Gordeev () for representatives of these, and other Holarctic freshwater genera, provide evidence for a restricted concept of the Plagioporinae (see Martin, Huston, Cutmore, & Cribb, ).…”

The Pseudoplagioporinae n. subf. (Opecoelidae) is proposed for species of Pseudoplagioporus Yamaguti, 1938, Fairfaxia Cribb, 1989, and Shimazuia Cribb, 2005, a small group of relatively distinctive, Indo‐West Pacific taxa reliably known almost entirely from emperor fishes (Perciformes: Lethrinidae). These taxa were previously recognized in the Plagioporinae Manter, 1947, but that subfamily has recently been restricted to a clade of Holarctic, freshwater taxa, whereas analyses of new genetic data find the pseudoplagioporines to form a distinct clade among a larger assemblage of marine taxa. New material was sourced from fishes collected mainly in Queensland waters, Australia, but with some specimens from off Western Australia, the Northern Territory, and Japan. Orthodena tropica Durio & Manter, 1968 is transferred to Pseudoplagioporus as P. tropicus (Durio & Manter, 1968) n. comb., and Orthodena Durio & Manter, 1968 thus becomes a synonym of that genus. Three new species of Pseudoplagioporus are proposed. One, P. mediocris n. sp., like other species of Pseudoplagioporus, occurs in several species of Lethrinus. The other two new species, P. labiatus n. sp. and P. roseovulatus n. sp., apparently do not infect species of Lethrinus and were instead found only in the Bigeye emperor Monotaxis grandoculis (Forsskål) and the Redfin emperor M. heterodon (Bleeker), respectively. New host‐locality combinations and the first genetic data, for the ribosomal ITS2 DNA region, and the 28S rRNA, 18S rRNA, and cox1 mtDNA genes, are reported for Pseudoplagioporus lethrini Yamaguti, 1938, P. interruptus Durio & Manter, 1968, P. tropicus, Fairfaxia lethrini Cribb, 1989, Fairfaxia cribbi Hassanine & Gibson, 2005, and Shimazuia lethrini (Yamaguti, 1938) Cribb, 2005.

“…While these tools are extremely useful, they often have problems estimating relationships between taxa when broadly defined morphological taxa (e.g., Macvicaria Bray, 1982, andNeolebouria Gibson, 1976) are used in the analysis without including the type species (Andres et al 2014). Such problems are often nomenclatural but are necessary when trying to define sub-familial and generic relationships.…”

The plagioporine opecoelids Helicometra fasciata (Rudolphi, 1819) Odhner, 1902, and Macvicaria crassigula (Linton, 1910 Bartoli, Bray, and Gibson, 1989 have been reported from fishes in expansive geographic regions, disjointed from their type localities. New material of M. crassigula was collected from near its type locality as well as specimens resembling Helicometra fasciata sensu lato from three triglids in the Gulf of Mexico. Comparisons of the ribosomal DNA (rDNA) sequences, comprising the partial 18S rDNA, internal transcribed spacer region (= ITS1, 5.8S, and ITS2), and partial 28S rDNA gene, from M. crassigula and Helicometra fasciata sensu lato in the Gulf of Mexico were made with sequences deposited in GenBank from those species from the Mediterranean Sea. Results reveal that M. crassigula sensu stricto from the Gulf of Mexico is distinct from the two cryptic species of M. crassigula sensu lato from the Mediterranean Sea and Helicometra fasciata sensu lato in this study differs from H. fasciata sequences from the Mediterranean Sea, thus Helicometra manteri sp. nov. is described.
