Classification:

Chromadorea

Chromadoria

Rhabditina

            Diplogastroidea

Diplogastridae

        Monobutlerius Andrassy, 1984

 

    Synonyms:

Parabutlerius Ebsary, 1986

Monobutlerius (Andrassy, 2005) Shokoohi, Panahi, Fourie & Abolafia, 2015

Note: Andrassy (2005) separated species based on the female reproductive systems into Butlerius for didelphic species and erected the genus Monobutlerius spp for monodelphic species . However, based on the similar morphology of their stomas and similarity of DNA profiles, Shokoohi et al (2015) synonymised Butlerius and Monobutlerius and all monodelphic species were transferred to Butlerius.
