'''''Jaliscia''''' is a [[genus]] which belongs to the [[family (biology)|family]] [[Microcotylidae]] and [[Class (biology)|class]] [[Monogenea]].  As all Monogenea, species of ''Jaliscia'' are [[ectoparasite]]s that affect their host by attaching themselves as [[larva]]e on the [[gills]] of the [[fish]] and grow into adult stage. This larval stage is called [[oncomiracidium]], and is characterized as free swimming and [[ciliated]].<ref name="Mamaev1977">Mamaev Y.L., Egorova T.P.: A description of ''Sebasticotyle ochotense'' n. g., n. sp., a new monogenea from scorpion fishes and the erection of ''Jaliscia'' n. g.
