Figures 16-17. Line drawing with camera lucida of the plerocercoid larvae N. exostigmi sp. nov. showing different body parts. 16. The whole plerocercoid larvae showing pars bothridialis (PBO), pars vaginalis (PV), pars bulbosa (PB), bothridia (BO), tentacles (T), tentacle sheath (TS), bulbs (BU), microtriches (MT), gubernaculum (GC), and appendix (AP); 17. High magnification of the tentacle (T) provided with hooks (H) showing apical armature (AA), metabasal armature (MBA), and basal armature (BA). 
Figures 1-15. Plerocercoid larvae Nybelinia exostigmi sp. nov. infecting Apogon exostigma. 1-8 Photomicrographs showing: 1. The body of plerocercoid larvae is divided into a scolex with three parts: pars bothridialis (PBO) with four bothridia (BO) and tentacles (T), pars vaginalis (PV), and pars bulbosa (PB) with four bulbs (BU); this ended with an appendix (AP). Note that the body is covered with prominent microtriches (MT); 2-4. The pars bothridialis (PBO) with four bothridia (BO), and tentacles (T) is surrounded by the tentacle sheath (TS) and has hooks (H) at high magnification of the tentacle in (3); 5-7. The pars vaginalis (PV), and pars bulbosa (PB) with four bulbs (BU); 8. The body ends in an appendix (AP);
