Five species, 3 new, of myoxosporida in the genus Myxidium were recovered from 7 genera and 23 species of deepsea macrourids. Although some Myxidium species were geographically dispersed they showed remarkable spore size stability. Two forms, "long" and "stubby" are described for M. coryphaenoidium. Abnormal M. coryphaenoidium spores are shown to resemble superficially other species and genera.
从7个属23种深海鼠尾鳕中发现了5种黏液孢子虫，其中3种为新物种，属于黏液虫属。尽管有些黏液虫物种在地理上分布广泛，但它们的孢子大小表现出显著的稳定性。对似首黏液虫描述了“长形”和“短粗形”两种形态。异常的似首黏液虫孢子表面上与其他物种和属相似。
