Sites: musculature, subcutaneous Hosts: Gobiesox maeandricus ; Platichthys stellatus ; Paraplagusia bilineata ; Rhodymenichthys dolichogaster Distribution: Pacific Record: Kuitunen-Ekbaum 1933a Comment: Kuitunen-Ekbaum (1933a) reported “ Philometra sanguinea ” from the four species listed above, the fishes having been caught in Departure Bay, BC. The identification cannot be confirmed in the absence of a description or illustration. In any event, Rasheed (1963) referred this philometrid species to the genus Philometroides . Moravec (2013), for example, described and illustrated Philometroides sanguineus from Carassius spp., these hosts being fresh-water cyprinids, rather than species of marine fishes. For these reasons it is best to list the record merely as a philometrid.
