circle of Monocotylidae (s. str. ) and has a considerable morphological 

 interest because of its undoubtedly secondary changes. As regards the 

 genus Loimoipapillosum (L. dasyatis Hargis, 1955) which is described 

 by Hargis, it sharply differs from both known genera of Loimoidae by the 

 presence of an ovary of monocotylid-type as well as by details of the structure 

 of the attaching disc. In spite of that, one should nevertheless recognize this 

 genus as pertaining to the present family. At the same time it is innportant 

 to note that for Loimoipapillosum the presence of 14 edge hooks is accurately 

 indicated (see page 370 ). Finally the re -establishment of a subfamily 

 Axininae Monticelli, 1903, made by Hargis can hardly be accepted because 

 the genera united in it pertain to different lines of evolutionary development 

 of Microcotylidae (see page 438).
