Comments.

A simultaneous infection with E. amydrum and E. carbuncularium occurred on A. rhomboidalis . Since all worms could not be identified, the data on infection rate relate to E. dunlapae, E. amydrum, and E. carbuncularium . Euryhaliotrema dunlapae was originally described on A. probatocephalus from the Indian River Lagoon near Malabar, Brevard County, Florida (Kritsky and Bakenhaster 2011). Morphometrical comparison between present specimens and those originally described did not reveal a significant difference. As mentioned above for E. amydrum, Montoya-Mendoza et al. (2015) also reported E. dunlapae on A. probatocephalus in Veracruz, Mexico; however, they did not provide any accession number for these specimens of E. dunlapae .
