Recently two unidentified Notocotylus species have been recovered from a mallard in Hokkaido, Japan. Preliminary data indicated that one of them may belong to N. atlanticus-a species found in Europe and on the Atlantic coast of North America. Now we have sequenced partial cox1 for several European N. atlanticus isolates and performed a barcode gap analysis. It has shown the conspecificity of European and Japanese worms, bringing up discussion on distribution, transmission and host specificity in this species.
