Zoosystematics and Evolution OA journal devoted to the diversity, systematics & evolution of all animal groups, except for insects

Zoosystematics and Evolution is an international, peer-reviewed life science journal devoted to the diversity, systematics and evolution of all animal groups, except for insects. It publishes original research and review articles at all taxonomic levels. Its scope encompasses primary information from collection-related research, taxonomic descriptions and discoveries, revisions, annotated type cat

alogues, relevant aspects of the history of science, and contributions on new methods and principles of taxonomy and systematics. Published by Pensoft on behalf of Museum fΓΌr Naturkunde, Berlin on ARPHA Platform.

Myxobolus branchiostegi sp. nov. was detected in the gallbladder of six out of 28 specimens (21.4%) of Branchiostegus argentatus Cuvier, 1830 from the East China Sea. This is the first record of a Myxobolus species infecting this host. Mature myxospores of the new species were oval in valvular view,...
