FIGURE 3. Anelasma squalicola (UCR 3711-001) found as parasite of the Ninja lanternshark, Etmopterus benchley. A. Specimen of ~28.8 mm TL, parasite of a female shark of 43.5 cm TL (see Fig. 1); Ovigerous specimen of ~29.1 mm TL parasite of a male shark of 52.5 cm TL (see Fig. 2); the arrowhead points towards the eggs within the mantle cavity. The peduncular bulbous structure covered with fine and root-like filaments was not properly removed from the shark tissue and, therefore, is not illustrated in the figure. Scale bar 2 cm.
