Summary

The Gyrocotylidea is a group of platyhelminths comprising only a dozen or so species which have been placed in three genera, Oyrocotyle Diesing, 1850, Amphiptyches Grube and Wagener in Wagener, 1852 and Gyrocotyloides Fuhrmann, 1930. All species are highly specific to chimaeroid fish, a small group of present-day holocephalans, and are restricted to the spiral valve intestine of these hosts.
