The redescription of Gonocerca muraenolepisi Paruchin et Ljadov, 1979 was made on the specimens collected from Muraenolepis marmorata Gnther, 1880 (Gadiformes), caught in the Ross Sea, and on extant paratypes -one of which was designated as neotype -is given in this paper. Phylogenetic relations of G. muraenolepisi were inferred by Bayesian analysis of partial sequences from 28S rDNA. Molecular data are not consistent with the traditional point of view about the position of the genus Gonocerca M
