Rasheedia
Rasheedia is a genus of nematodes in the order Spirurida. The nematode genus Bulbocephalus Rasheed, 1966 was found to be a homonym of Bulbocephalus Watson, 1916 and, therefore, a new name, Rasheedia n. nom., was proposed in 2018 to substitute it.
The genus was named in honour of Suraiya Rasheed, "a well-known Pakistani fish parasitologist who was the first to describe these interesting nematodes".
