Taxonomy 'As stated by (Thomas, 1960), the species Aephnidiogenes ptochus does not belong in this genus and should be considered a species inquirenda. It is based partly on Linton’s (1907) description of Distomum levenseni, and in particular, the worm from Epinephelus striatus illustrated as his figure 80. It has short lateral vitelline fields at about the level of the ovary, and generally bears no relationship with Aephnidiogenes.' [details]
