"The family Pennellidae comprises ecto and mesoparasitic copepods on marine fishes.
Although a preliminary scheme of phylogenetic
relationships of pennellids based on morphological
characters exists, it is difficult to objectively define
character states because of their highly modified
bodies and reduced appendages.
In the family Pennellidae, 25 genera and ca. 180
species have been described from fishes and occasionally from marine mammals in the world's oceans"

TRIFUR Wilson C.B., 1917
"The genus Trifur Wilson, 1917 comprises relatively large and
conspicuous parasitic copepods infecting the body surface and
gills of several marine fishes. It was erected to accommodate
T. tortuosus Wilson, 1917, a parasite of the body surface of
Salilota australis (Ghnther, 1878) from the Smith Channel,
Otter Bay Southern Chile (Wilson 1917). Later on, other
species were described from the Southern Hemisphere:
T. merluccii Talice, 1936, parasitizing “Merluccius gayi
(Guichenot, 1848)”, actually Merluccius hubbsi Marini, 1933
from Uruguay (Talice 1936); T. puntaniger Thomé, 1963 from
an unknown host species caught in the coasts of Uruguay
(Thomé 1963); T. chlorophthalmi Yamaguti, 1939 from Chlorophthalmus
albatrossis Jordan et Starks, 1904 from Japan
(Yamaguti 1963) and T. physiculi Heegaard, 1962 from the
skin of “Physiculus barbatus (Ghnther, 1863)” = Pseudophysis
barbata Günther, 1863 and “Physiculus sp.” from Australia
and Tasmania (Heegaard 1962)" (from: Etchegoin et al., 2009)
