Susanlimae is a genus of monopisthocotylean monogeneans, belonging in the family Dactylogyridae (or Ancyrocephalidae, according to the classification used).
The etymology of the genus name is an homage to the Malaysian parasitologist Susan Lim. The authors stated that Dr. Lim was greatly responsible for most of our knowledge of the diversity of Monogenea from Asian Siluriformes. [1]
