Hexabothriidae is a family of
monogenean parasites. The family name was proposed by Emmett W. Price in 1942.[1] The family includes 14-16
genera according to authors [2][3] and about 60 species; all are parasitic on the
gills of
chondrichthyan fishes (
rays,
sharks and
chimaeras).[3][4]
Studies on phylogeny of monogeneans based on morphology,[5] molecules [6] or spermatozoa [7] suggest that the Hexabothriidae are a basal group within the
Polyopisthocotylea.
