	abstract = {Phylogenetic analysis based on ribosomal DNA markers in
dicates that there is a discrete clade of species of
Transverso-
trema
Witenberg, 1944 associated with mullid fishes of the Indo-West Pacific, although there is only one previous record
of transversotrematids from these fishes. E
ach of the species in this clade bears br
oad morphological similarity to previous
concepts of either
Transversotrema haasi
Witenberg, 1944 or
Transversotrema licinum
Manter, 1970, yet none of them is
attributed here to either of these species. Four new species of
Transversotrema
are described from mullid fishes of the
tropical and sub-tropical Indo-West Pacific using a comb
ination of morphology, morphometric analysis and DNA se-
quencing.
Transversotrema cabrarum
n. sp.
is described from
Parupeneus spilurus
(Bleeker) from Ningaloo Reef (Aus-
tralia), and recorded from
Parupeneus cyclostomus
(Lacep{\`e}de),
Parupeneus pleurostigma
(Bennett) and
Parupeneus
trifasciatus
(Lacep{\`e}de) from the same location.
Transversotrema chevrarum
n. sp.
is described from Lizard Island (Great
Barrier Reef, Australia) from
Parupeneus ciliatus
(Lacep{\`e}de), and further recorded from
Parupeneus barberinus
(Lacep{\`e}de),
P
.
cyclostomus, Parupeneus indicus
(Shaw),
Parupeneus multifasciatus
(Quoy \& Gaimard) and
P
.
trifasciatus
at the same location.
Transversotrema cutmorei
n. sp.
is described from
Upeneus tragula
Richardson from Moreton Bay,
Australia.
Transversotrema tragorum
n. sp.
is described from
Parupeneus indicus
from Lizard Island and recorded from
P
.
barberinus
,
P
.
ciliatus
P
.
cyclostomus
,
P
.
multifasciatus
and
P
.
trifasciatus
from the same location. An additional spe-
cies, also from mullids from Lizard Island, is delineated on the
basis of molecular data, but not formally described. Like
many other transversotrematids, the species described here appear to have limited geographical distributions.},
