Gyrocerviceanseris is a genus of monogeneans in the family Gyrodactylidae. It consists of one species, Gyrocerviceanseris passamaquoddyensis.[1]
Etymology[edit]
The genus name is derived from cervicus, meaning "neck", and anseris, meaning "goose"; therefore, the genus name literally means "goose-neck", in reference to the shape of the hamulus root. The specific epithet is derived from the species' type locality, Passamaquoddy Bay.[1]
