	abstract = {Kudoa spp. from the musculature and intestinal mucosa of species of the teleost family Apogonidae were examined for their taxonomic identity. Two novel species are characterised: Kudoa cheilodipteri n. sp. from the musculature of Cheilodipterus quinquelineatus Cuvier, Ostorhinchus cyanosoma (Bleeker) and O. aureus (Lac{\'e}p{\`e}de); and Kudoa cookii n. sp. from the submucosa of the intestines of O. cookii (Macleay) only. Both species are characterised using morphology, small subunit ribosomal DNA (SSU rDNA), large subunit ribosomal DNA (LSU rDNA), and biological characters. Three new host records, O. cyanosoma, O. aureus and Apogon doederleini, and associated geographical, morphological and genetic data are also provided for Kudoa whippsi Burger \& Adlard, 2010. Morphological and molecular intra-specific variation of all isolates assigned to K. whippsi is also examined. Phylogenetic analyses further support the idea that tissue tropism is a distinguishing character between morphologically similar species; species reported here display close relatedness to morphologically similar species infecting the same tissue within their hosts},

Manter, 1970 was described from two species of fishes from Moreton Bay, Queensland, and sub-
sequently reported from 13 further species from six families
in the Indo{\textendash}West Pacific region
. This study records specimens
morphologically similar to
T. licinum
from 48 fish species from 11 families. A
combined analysis of the second internal
transcribed spacer region (ITS2) of ribo
somal DNA and morphological data revealed
a complex of at least 15 species and
from these data ten new species of
Transversotrema
Witenberg, 1944 are described here.
T. licinum sensu stricto
is char-
acterised in terms of morphology, distinct genotype, wide host distribution (Kyphosidae, Lutjanidae, Monodactylidae,
Mugilidae, Pomacentridae and Sparidae) and, at present, is
known only in Moreton Bay. The following new species are
proposed:
T. atkinsoni
n. sp.
from nemipterids from Heron Island (southern GBR) and Ningaloo Reef (Western Australia);
T. borboleta
n. sp.
from chaetodontids and lutjanines (Lutjanidae) from Lizard Island and Heron Island;
T. cardinalis
n.
sp.
from lutjanines and a haemulid from Lizard Island;
T. carmenae
n. sp.
from nemipterids from Lizard Island;
T. dam-
sella
n. sp.
from pomacentrids, a labrid and a mugilid from Lizard Island;
T. espanola
n. sp.
from lutjanines from Heron
and Lizard Islands;
T. fusilieri
n. sp.
from caesionines (Lutjanidae) from Lizard Island;
T. manteri
n. sp.
from caesionines
from Lizard Island and Ningaloo Reef;
T. nova
n. sp.
from a nemipterid from New Caledonia; and
T. witenbergi
n. sp.
from caesionines from Heron Island.
Transversotrema borboleta
n. sp.
is itself probably a complex of at least three closely
related species but these are not yet sufficiently well delineated to allow separate descriptions. Four putative species re-
ferred to as Species A{\textendash}D recognised from
molecular analysis have not been descri
bed because of insufficient data. Most
species are evidently strongly restricted to families or subfamilies of fishes. Only
T. licinum
appears to be genuinely eu-
ryxenic.
Transversotrema borboleta
infects chaetodontids and lutjanids but the nature of the distribution may be an indi-
cation that it represents a species complex. Most of the speci
es appear to have restricted ranges, being absent from
susceptible host species at some localities. },

	abstract = {Combined molecular and morphological data demonstrate the presence of two species of Symmetrovesicula Yamaguti, 1938 in chaetodontid fishes from Australian waters. A total of 2,462 individuals of 46 species of chaetodontid at eight localities were dissected. Analysis of the rDNA ITS2 revealed the presence of three genotypes, two separated by a single base difference and the third differed from the other two by 10{\textendash}11 base differences. Subsequent morphological examination identified a number of variations that supported the presence of two species; however, we found no additional evidence to support the presence of a third species corresponding to the single base variation. Thus, we take the conservative approach of recognising two species of Symmetrovesicula within Australian waters, S. chaetodontis Yamaguti, 1938 from off Ningaloo Reef, Western Australia and S. gracilis n. sp. from off Ningaloo Reef, the Great Barrier Reef, Queensland and New Caledonia. Both species exhibit distinct restrictions to certain clades of chaetodontids. },

	abstract = {A survey of the endohelminth fauna of Indo-West Pacific Lutjanidae (Perciformes) revealed the presence of the species Siphoderina manilensis (Velasquez, 1961) Miller \& Cribb, 2008 and S. marina (Hafeezullah \& Siddiqi, 1970) Miller \& Cribb, 2008 in seven Lutjanus spp. from sites off the Great Barrier Reef, the Maldives, New Caledonia and Ningaloo Reef, Western Australia. A combination of morphological and ribosomal DNA analyses of these cryptogonimids prompted the transfer of these taxa to a new genus, Euryakaina n. g., as E. manilensis n. comb. and E. marina n. comb., based on comparative analysis with other cryptogonimid taxa. Euryakaina n. g. is distinguished from all other cryptogonimid genera by the combination of a fusiform body, the few relatively small, widely spaced oral spines (sometimes absent), a highly lobed ovary, opposite to slightly oblique testes, vitelline follicles that extend from the anterior margin of the testes to slightly posterior to the intestinal bifurcation, and an excretory vesicle that bifurcates dorsal to the ovary and reunites briefly slightly posterior to the intestinal bifurcation. Morphometric analysis of these taxa alone suggests they should be reduced to synonymy, but DNA sequence analyses and ecological niche partitioning provide evidence that they form a cryptic species complex in sympatric lutjanids in the Indo-West Pacific. The secondary structure of the ITS2 rDNA for species of Euryakaina was also modelled and analysed for the presences of compensatory base changes (CBCs) or hemi-CBCs in order to explore the usefulness of these changes as a tool to help elucidate the taxonomy of this complex system. We also report what we interpret here as intraspecific variation in the ITS2 rDNA between individuals of E. manilensis from Lutjanus vitta recovered off the Great Barrier Reef and New Caledonia. },

	abstract = {We report nine species, eight of which are new, of cryptogonimids belonging to Siphoderina Manter, 1934 from the intestine and pyloric caeca of five species of Lutjanidae (Lutjanus adetii, L. argentimaculatus, L. carponotatus, L. fulviflamma and L. russelli) and one species of Haemulidae (Plectorhinchus gibbosus) recovered from Heron and Lizard Islands off the Great Barrier Reef, Moreton Bay and Ningaloo Reef in Western Australia. We also report the metacercariae of two species from an atherinid fish, Atherinomorus capricornensis, from near Heron Island. Morphological analysis of the species reported here was augmented by DNA sequence analyses utilizing data from the internal transcribed spacers (ITS) 1 and 2, large subunit (LSU) and 5.8S nuclear ribosomal DNA to explore the integrity of the species and their biogeographic distributions. The analysis found strong support for the integrity of Siphoderina and found that it is the sister-taxon to Beluesca Miller et Cribb, 2007. Sequencing included multiple replicates and no intraspecific variation was observed between any of the taxa over the rDNA regions examined. Sequence data from the ITS and LSU regions were analysed with that of species of Beluesca, Caulanus Miller et Cribb, 2007, Chelediadema Miller et Cribb, 2007, Latuterus Miller et Cribb, 2007, Neometadena Hafeezullah et Siddiqi, 1970 and Retrovarium Miller et Cribb, 2007 which all also infect lutjanids or haemulids. Some closely related species of Siphoderina infect only distantly related fishes among the haemulids and lutjanids whereas others form clusters in association with clusters of closely related lutjanids. This pattern suggests a history of some co-evolutionary divergence together with significant host switching. Pseudallacanthochasmus Velasquez, 1961 is considered a synonym of Siphoderina and the new combinations S. grandispinus (Velasquez, 1961) n. comb. and S. magnivesiculum (Gaevskaya et Aljoshkina, 1985) n. comb. are proposed. As a result of the new species described here and these new combinations, Siphoderina now contains 43 species, making it by far the largest genus of the Cryptogonimidae. },

It is considered similar to M. nolani, differing in the vitellarium being restricted to the hindbody, but sharing with M. nolani an unusual arrangement of small body-spines on the antero-ventral surface. It is also morphologically very similar to Monostephanostomum roytmani (Parukhin, 1974), which apparently lacks the diminutive antero-ventral body-spines.
