Abstract
- Six genera and 15 species, 2 new, of myxosporida were recovered from 14 species of California marine rockfish, Sebastes. The spores of Leptotheca sebasta sp. n. are arched with thick, equal shell valves and large round polar capsules. They are greater in width and sutural diameter and more crescentic than L. latesi. Ceratomyxa sebasta sp. n. is crescentic in shape with equal shell valves. The spores of C. sebasta are shorter in sutural diameter, larger in width, and less crescentic than C. hokarari.
