Abstract

Diesingium lomentaceum (Diesing, 1850) Pintner, 1929 is redescribed from specimens from Mustelus mustelus (Linnaeus, 1758) from Senegal, Africa, and the genus rehabilitated. Mustelicola Dollfus, 1969 is considered a synonym of Diesingium Pintner, 1929, and D. lomentaceum is considered very similar to D. woodsholei (Dollfus, 1969) n. comb. D. antarcticus (Campbell & Beveridge, 1988) n. comb. is regarded as a valid species. The redefinition of the family Mustelicolidae Dollfus, 1969 sensu Campbell & Beveridge (1988) includes the features of Diesingium.
