Record: Kuitunen-Ekbaum 1933a
Comment: Kuitunen-Ekbaum (1933a) reported “ Philometra sanguinea ” from the four species listed above, the fishes having been caught in Departure Bay, BC. The identification cannot be confirmed in the absence of a description or illustration. In any event, Rasheed (1963) referred this philometrid species to the genus Philometroides. Moravec (2013), for example, described and illustrated Philometroides sanguineus from Carassius spp., these hosts being fresh-water cyprinids, rather than species of marine fishes. For these reasons it is best to list the record merely as a philometrid.
