Resumo(s)
Parasites of deep-water fishes are less known in comparison to the parasites of fishes living in the demersal and epipelagic
ocean zones. In the present research note we report the occurrence of larval trypanorhynch cestodes in a rare deep-water fish,
the deep-water brotula, Cataetyx laticeps. Based on the 28S rDNA (region D1-D3) sequence homology and the phylogenetic
analysis, the larval cestodes are putatively assigned to the genus Grillotia. It is suggested that the definitive host of this
trypanorhynch is a batoid.
