AbstractA new species, Stephanostomum tantabiddii n. sp., is described from the yellowspotted trevally Carangoides fulvoguttatus from Ningaloo Reef, Western Australia. It has 38-45 circum-oral spines and the vitellarium reaches to no less than 17% of the hindboady length from the ventral sucker. It differs from other species of Stephanostomum with these characteristics by various combinations of the ventral hiatus of the circum-oral spine rows, the relatively long pars prostatica and the short ejaculatory duct, the elongate body and the wide gaps between the gonads.
