Comments: Neobenedenia melleni is unique among monogenean parasites with its broad range of fish hosts, and may<br />

be a species complex (Whittington, 2004). Nonetheless, available evidence suggests that it has been introduced into<br />

Hawaii, Japan, and New York. We list it as unclassified elsewhere.<br />
