We prove that the study of the category C-Comod of left comodules over a K-coalgebra C reduces to the study of K-linear representations of a quiver with relations if K is an algebraically closed field, and to the study of K-linear representations of a K-species with relations if K is a perfect field. Given a field K and a quiver Q = (Q₀,Q₁), we show that any subcoalgebra C of the path K-coalgebra K◻Q containing is the path coalgebra of a profinite bound quiver (Q,), and the category C-Comod of left C-comodules is equivalent to the category of locally nilpotent and locally finite K-linear representations of Q bound by the profinite relation ideal . Given a K-species and a relation ideal of the complete tensor K-algebra of ℳ, the bound species subcoalgebra of the cotensor K-coalgebra of ℳ is defined. We show that any subcoalgebra C of containing ₁ is of the form , and the category C-Comod is equivalent to the category of locally nilpotent and locally finite K-linear representations of ℳ bound by the profinite relation ideal . The question when a basic K-coalgebra C is of the form , up to isomorphism, is also discussed.
