Calydiscoides is a genus of monopisthocotylean monogeneans, included in the family Diplectanidae.[1]
The genus currently includes 16 species, which are all parasitic on the gills of marine fish of the family Lethrinidae and Nemipteridae.[1][2] All species are from the Indo-Pacific Ocean.
The type-species of the genus is Calydiscoides australis Young, 1969.[3]
