Reexamination of the male holotype of the rhabdochonid nematode Rhabdochona leucaspii Kritscher, 1979, originally described from the intestine of the cyprinid fish Leucaspius prosperi [= Ladigesocypris ghigii (Gianferrari)] from Rhodes Island, Greece, confirmed its morphological and biometrical identity with Rhabdochona denudata (Dujardin, 1845), a common and widespread parasite of cyprinids and some other fishes in palaearctic Eurasia. Consequently, R. leucaspii is considered a junior synonym of R. denudata.
