REMARK

With exception of specimens collected in O. saurus , all these records were made as Gotocotyla acanthophallus , species considered synonym of G. acanthura by Hayward & Rohde (1999c). The specimens collected from O. saurus were considered as new species ( G. jicacali Bravo-Hollis, 1990 ), but its description was not published (see Lamothe-Argumedo et al. 1997b), and currently this name is synonym of G. acanthura (Hayward & Rohde, 1999c).

NOTE

Kohn et al. (2006) listed Gotocotyla jicacali as valid species.
