Allogastrocotyle bivaginalis is a species of monogenean flatworm, which is parasitic on the gills of a marine fish. It belongs to the family Gastrocotylidae. [1]
The species was described and illustrated from two specimens from the gills the rough scad Trachurus lathami (Carangidae) off Venezuela, and designated as the type species of the genus. [1]
In 2019, Bouguerche et al. examined specimens of monogeneans similar to Allogastrocotyle bivaginalis, collected from the gills of the Blue jack mackerel Trachurus picturatus (Carangidae) from off the Algerian coast, Mediterranean Sea. They claimed that they could not distinguish the Mediterranean specimens from A. bivaginalis, neither on the base of morphology nor on molecules (because molecular information was lacking on A. bivaginalis from Venezuela). [2]
