TLDR
Phylogenetic analysis of selected subfamily and family taxa within the Dactylogyroidea indicates that the Ancyrocephalidae Bychowsky, 1937, is unnatural and suggests that revision of the Ancentylogyridae is necessary.
Abstract
Phylogenetic analysis of selected subfamily and family taxa within the Dactylogyroidea indicates that the Ancyrocephalidae Bychowsky, 1937, is unnatural. The family contains both poly- and paraphyletic features. The analysis supports the previous elevation of the Pseudomurraytrematinae to family status and suggests that revision of the Ancyrocephalidae is necessary. Two options for revision are provided; that of returning the taxon to subfamily status within the Dactylogyridae is preferred, requiring a change in status of the Heterotesiidae to a subfamily within the Dactylogyridae.

Phylogeny and a revised classification of the Monogenoidea Bychowsky, 1937 (Platyhelminthes)

TL;DR: A hypothesis (CI=57.3%) on the evolutionary relationships of families comprising the class Monogenoidea is proposed based on 141 character states in 47 homologous series and employing phylogenetic systematics and supports independent origins of the Montchadskyellidae within the Polyonchoinea and of the Neodactylodiscidae and Amphibdellatini within the order Dactylogyridea.

Cladistic study in the monogenea (Platyhelminthes), based upon a parsimony analysis of spermiogenetic and spermatozoal ultrastructural characters

TL;DR: Monophyly was established on the basis of spermatozoal and spermiogenetic ultrastructural characters in the Monogenea in the following groups: the Polyopisthocotylea (one synapomorphy), the MonopistHocotylesa (three synapomorphies), the Capsalidae/Dionchidae/Monocotylidae (two synap morphies), and a group ( two synapomorphicies).

Phylogenetic relationships of the Dactylogyridae Bychowsky, 1933 (Monogenea: Dactylogyridea): the need for the systematic revision of the Ancyrocephalinae Bychowsky, 1937.

TL;DR: Classification of the Dactylogyridae needs to be revised as the non-monophyly of the group of species recently considered as members of Ancyrocephalinae, previously suggested by Kritsky & Boeger (1989) using the morphological characters is indicated.

Phylogeny of the monopisthocotylea and Polyopisthocotylea (Platyhelminthes) inferred from 28S rDNA sequences.

TL;DR: Each of these families was found to be monophyletic and their monophyly was supported by high bootstrap values in neighbour joining and maximum parsimony, and within the Polyopisthocotylea, the polystomatids were the sister-group of all others.

Dactylogyridean monogeneans of the siluriform fishes of the Old World

TL;DR: It is proposed that the Ancylodiscoidinae be raised to family status within the order Dactylogyridea to accommodate these 17 `ancyrocephalid' genera from siluriforms, together with Malayanodiscoides and Notopterodiscoide from notopterids.

The development of the adhesive organs of some diplectanid, tetraonchid and dactylogyrid gill parasites (Monogenea)

TL;DR: The adhesive organs of diplectanid, tetraonchid and dactylogyrid monogeneans develop in very similar ways indicating that all these gill parasites are closely related to each other as mentioned in this paper.
