Lethacotyle is a genus of polyopisthocotylean monogeneans, included in the family Protomicrocotylidae.The genus includes only two species: Lethacotyle fijiensis Manter & Price, 1953, the type-species of the genus, and Lethacotyle vera Justine, Rahmouni, Gey, Schoelinck, & Hoberg, 2013.Both species are parasitic on the gills of jacks in the Pacific Ocean. They are known only from three localities: off Fiji, Andaman Islands, and New Caledonia.The genus Lethacotyle is special in that its members have no clamps on their posterior attachment organ or haptor, in contrast to most polyopisthocotylean Monogenean which have clamps. This is reflected in the etymology of the name, which, according to Manter & Price is "from letha = forgetting, and cotyle = cup, and refers to the absence of clamps".

- Lethacotyle est un genre de monogènes Polyopisthocotylea, qui fait partie de la famille Protomicrocotylidae.Le genre comprend seulement deux espèces : Lethacotyle fijiensis Manter & Price, 1953, espèce type du genre, et Lethacotyle vera Justine, Rahmouni, Gey, Schoelinck, & Hoberg, 2013. Les deux espèces sont des parasites sur les branchies de carangues dans l'Océan Pacifique. On les a trouvées dans seulement trois localités, au large des Fidji, des Iles Andaman, et de la Nouvelle-Calédonie.La particularité du genre Lethacotyle est que ses membres n'ont pas de pinces sur leur hapteur (l'organe d'attachement à l'arrière du corps), au contraire de la plupart des Monogènes Polyopisthocotylea qui ont un nombre variable de pinces.
