Echinoplectanum rarum is a species of diplectanid monogenean parasitic on the gills of the leopard coralgrouper, Plectropomus leopardus. It has been described in 2006.

[1]

This species is very rare and represented only 2% of the specimens of Echinoplectanum spp. found in P. leopardus.[1] This species was distinguished from other species of the same genus by its characteristic ring-shaped sclerotised vagina.[1]

Etymology

The epithet rarum is Latin for rare.[1]

Hosts and localities

The leopard coral grouper Plectropomus leopardus is the type-host of Echinoplectanum rarum. The type-locality is the coral reef off Nouméa, New Caledonia.[1]

In New Caledonia, this fish harbours three species of the genus Echinoplectanum, namely E. rarum, E. pudicum and E. leopardi.[1]
