Rhabdosynochus is a genus of monopisthocotylean monogeneans, belonging to the family Diplectanidae.[1][2]
The type-species of the genus, Rhabdosynochus rhabdosynochus Mizelle & Blatz, 1941, was initially described as a member of the sub-family Tetraonchinae.[1] The genus was then transferred to the Diplectaninae by Hargis,[3] then to the Ancyrocephalinae by Bychowsky (1957),[4] and finally to the Diplectanidae by Yamaguti (1963).[5] Oliver (1987) confirmed its position within the family Diplectanidae.[6]
