Abstract
This manual includes an introduction to the general biology of the platyhelminth class Monogenea, an illustrated key to the generic level, an annotated systematic list of 108 species in 75 genera and 28 families, a glossary of terms, a host-parasite list, a selected bibliography, and a systematic index. The species listed have been reported on fishes taken in the coastal waters of the northwestern Atlantic Ocean from the U.S.-Canada border to Beaufort, North Carolina. Many of the species, however, have wider geographic distributions that are not reported herein unless adjacent to the geographic area above. In addition, a single species of Neodermata, Udonella caligorum, that is found attached to copepods on fish gills is also listed.
