Abstract
The genus Neogrubea Dillon & Hargis, 1968 (syn. Asymmetria Suriano, 1975) is revised based on examination of type- and voucher material, and from new specimens collected from the gills of Seriolella porosa Guichenot and Stromateus brasiliensis Fowler from off Patagonia, Argentina. Morphological comparisons based on light and scanning electron microscopy and molecular data (partial SSU and LSU rDNA sequences) of the monogeneans from off Patagonia suggest that N. seriolellae Dillon & Hargis, 1968 (syns N. stromateae Gibson, 1976, A. asymmetria Suriano, 1975 and A. platensis Rey & Meneses, 1985) is currently the only species of the genus. Neogrubea soni Evdokimova, 1969 is considered a species inquirenda. An emended diagnosis of Neogrubea is presented, and new host and locality records for N. seriolellae are given in detail. Morphological characters of the members of the mazocraeid subfamily Grubeinae Price, 1961 are also discussed.
