Cynoscionicola is a genus which belongs to the family Microcotylidae and class Monogenea.Price, E. W. (1962). North American monogenetic trematodes. XI. The family Heteraxinidae. Journal of Parasitology, Vol. 48, 402-418. Species of Cynoscionicola are ectoparasites that affect their host by attaching themselves as larvae on the gills of the fish and grow into adult stage. This larval stage is called oncomiracidium, and is characterized as free swimming and ciliated.
This genus was proposed by Price in 1962, to accommodate Cynoscionicola heteracantha and Cynoscionicola pseudoheteracantha (previously included in the genus Microcotyle).
Members of Cynoscionicola are characterised by a genital atrium with two anterior muscular pockets armed with single row of hooked spines, and two posterior lateral muscular pouches armed with spines.
