Cyclocotyla is a genus of monogenean flatworms first described in 1821. It currently consists of one valid species, Cyclocotyla bellones, with all other former members reassigned to other genera. With its sole species linked to the better-accepted Choricotyle,[3] the genus is currently a taxon inquirendum.[4]
The sole species C. bellones is notorious for being a hyperparasite. It feeds on the isopod parasite Ceratothoa parallela (among others of the same genus), which itself feeds on the fish Boops boops and Pagellus acarne.[3]
