The redescription of Gonocerca muraenolepisi Paruchin et Ljadov, 1979
was made on the specimens collected from Muraenolepis marmorata Gunther, 1880
(Gadiformes), caught in the Ross Sea, and on extant paratypes — one of which was
designated as neotype — is given in this paper. Phylogenetic relations of G. muraenolepisi
were inferred by Bayesian analysis of partial sequences from 28S rDNA. Molecular data are
not consistent with the traditional point of view about the position of the genus Gonocerca
Manter, 1925, and subfamily Gonocercinae that are based on this genus in the family
Derogenidae. Also, molecular data does not support the presence of the genus Hemipera
Nicoll 1913, in the subfamily Gonocercinae. The taxonomical position and species lists of
representatives of the Gonocercinae need further revision.
