Rasheedia is a genus of nematodes in the order Spirurida. The nematode genus Bulbocephalus Rasheed, 1966 [1] was found to be a homonym of Bulbocephalus Watson, 1916 (Apicomplexa, Stylocephalidae) and, therefore, a new name, Rasheedia n. nom., was proposed in 2018 to substitute it.[2]
The genus was named in honour of Suraiya Rasheed, "a well-known Pakistan i fish parasitologist who was the first to describe these interesting nematodes".[2]
Species of Rasheedia are parasite of fish and include:
- Rasheedia heptacanthi Moravec & Justine, 2018, a parasite of the Cinnabar goatfish Parupeneus heptacanthus (Mullidae) and Dentex fourmanoiri (Sparidae)
- Rasheedia novaecaledoniensis Moravec & Justine, 2018, a parasite of the Indian goatfish Parupeneus indicus (Mullidae)
- Rasheedia deblocki (Le-Van-Hoa, Pham-Ngoc-Khue & Nguyen-Thi-Lien, 1972) Moravec & Justine, 2018
- Rasheedia inglisi (Rasheed, 1966) Moravec & Justine, 2018 [1]
