Asteriomyzostomum asteriae (Marenzeller, 1895)
Myzostoma asteriae
Marenzeller, 1895
Notes
Originally described from Greece as parasitic on the starfish species
Sclerasterias richardi
(Perrier in Milne-Edwards 1882) and
Sclerasterias neglecta
(Perrier, 1891) collected near Santorini, Kythira and Samos; no other records from Greece. Almost nothing is known of the species' distribution; the extensive description of its anatomy by
Stummer-Traunfels (1903)
is based on specimens provided by Marenzeller, presumably from the same collection as the type material.
