Rasheedia

Rasheedia is a genus of nematodes in the order Spirurida. The nematode genus BulbocephalusRasheed, 1966^[1] was found to be a homonym of BulbocephalusWatson, 1916 (Apicomplexa, Stylocephalidae) and, therefore, a new name, Rasheedia n. nom., was proposed in 2018 to substitute it.^[2]

The genus was named in honour of Suraiya Rasheed, "a well-known Pakistani fish parasitologist who was the first to describe these interesting nematodes".^[2]

Species of Rasheedia are parasite of fish and include:

Rasheedia deblocki(Le-Van-Hoa, Pham-Ngoc-Khue & Nguyen-Thi-Lien, 1972) Moravec & Justine, 2018
Rasheedia heptacanthiMoravec & Justine, 2018, a parasite of the Cinnabar goatfish Parupeneus heptacanthus (Mullidae) and Dentex fourmanoiri (Sparidae)
Rasheedia inglisi(Rasheed, 1966) Moravec & Justine, 2018^[1]
Rasheedia novaecaledoniensisMoravec & Justine, 2018, a parasite of the Indian goatfish Parupeneus indicus (Mullidae)
