Abstract

A synopsis of the species of Zschokkella Auerbach, 1910 (Myxozoa: Bivalvulida: Myxidiidae) is presented, including 94 nominal species from piscine hosts and 3 additional nominal species from amphibian or reptilian hosts. The most relevant morphological and morphometric features of both myxospores and trophozoite stages (when available) are presented for each species in tabulated format.
