“…Larvae were identified as belonging to the genus Diphterostomum Stossich, 1903 by the presence of 2 short and divergent caeca (Bray 2008). It is similar to Diphterostomum brusinae, having four lips on the ventral sucker, which are also present in the adult form described by Pina et al (2009) …”

Over a two-years period, a survey was carried out in order to increase the knowledge of digeneans parasitising the commonest intertidal gastropods on the Patagonian coast, Southwestern Atlantic Ocean. A total of 4,725 gastropods were examined. Six species of digenean parasitising four snail species were found; four of them were registered for first time: Maritrema sp. 1 (Microphallidae) in Crepidula dilatata (Calyptraeidae), Parorchis sp. (Philophtalmidae) and sporocyst of Renicolidae in Trophon geversianus (Muricidae), and Diphterostomum sp. (Zoogonidae) in Buccinanops globulosus (Nassariidae). Two other species were found in Siphonaria lessoni (Siphonariidae): Maritrema sp. 2 and Hemiuridae. One snail species, Tegula patagonica (Trochidae) was not parasitised. These gastropods act as first intermediate host, and C. dilatata, S. lessoni and B. globulosus also frequently host metacercariae within the sporocyst. Overall prevalences varied from 0.16% of Diphterostomum in the intertidal population of B. globulosus to 33.45% of Maritrema sp. 1 in C. dilatata.

“…The validity of many of its subfamilies and genera has long been in dispute and a large number of synonyms were proposed (see Dollfus 1952;Bray 1987 a, b;Brooks 1990;Brooks & McLennan 1993). Recently, Bray (2007) has comprehensively reviewed this family recognising two subfamilies, the Zoogoninae Odhner, 1902 andLepidophyllinae Stossich, 1903. He accepted 19 genera as valid within the Lepidophyllinae; Lepidophyllum Odhner, 1902, Steganoderma Stafford, 1904, Deretrema Linton, 1910, Lecithostaphylus Odhner, 1911, Proctophantastes Odhner, 1911, Urinatrema Yamaguti, 1934, Cephaloporus Yamaguti, 1934, Brachyenteron Manter, 1934, Pseudochetosoma Dollfus, 1951, Pseudopalaeorchis Kamegai, 1970, Anarhichotrema Shimazu, 1973, Yamagutiplectognathotrema Parukhin, 1977, Panopula Overstreet et Pritchard, 1977, Steganodermatoides Parukhin et Lyadov, 1979, Overstreetia Bray, 1985, Limnoderetrema Bray, 1987, Parasteganoderma Machida et Araki, 1990, Koiea Bray et Campbell, 1995and Sacculoacetabulum Machida et Kuramochi, 1999.…”

Specimens of the fishes Scarus ghobban Forsskål (Scaridae) and Crenimugil crenilabis Forsskål (Mugilidae) were caught in the Red Sea off the coast of Sharm ElSheikh, South Sinai, Egypt. Ten (20 %) and 15 (50 %) of these fishes, respectively, were found to harbour intestinal trematodes. Scarus ghobban was parasitised by Prosteganoderma brayi gen. nov., sp. nov. (Zoogonidae) and C. crenilabis by Forticulcita mugilis sp. nov. (Haploporidae). Prosteganoderma gen. nov. is similar to Steganoderma Stafford, 1904, but clearly differs from it and from all the other genera of the subfamily Lepidophyllinae Stossich, 1903 in having a large ventral sucker surrounded by a large prominent fleshy fold of the body wall and a pre-testicular uterus. Forticulcita mugilis sp. nov. is similar to F. glabra Overstreet, 1982, the type and the only species of the genus, but clearly differs in having a larger body size, a longer forebody, an intestinal bifurcation in the middle of the body, subequal gonads, Laurer's canal opening dorsally at a considerable distance posterior to the testis and a much larger egg size.

“…This family includes at least 77 nominal species (Brooks 1990) and 32 valid genera (Bray 2008, Jezewski et al 2009, Châari et al 2011. The taxonomic status of this family has been discussed by Bray 1987 and was subdivided into two subfamilies, the Zoogoninae Odhner, 1902and the Lepidophyllinae Stossich, 1903.…”

“…Bray 2008 did not recognized these additional subfamilies, but agreed with Brooks' view that a satisfactory revision of this family awaited a larger database. The genus Lecithostaphylus (Digenea, Zoogonidae) belongs to the Lepidophyllinae according to Bray 2008 and the Lecithostaphylinae according to Brooks 1990. It was erected by Odhner 1911 for the type species L. retroflexus (Molin, 1859) and was defined as a subgenus of Steganoderma Stafford, 1904 (= S. L. retroflexum) by Bray 1987 and then elevated back to the generic rank by Brooks 1990.…”

Lecithostaphylus tylosuri sp. nov. (Digenea, Zoogonidae) specimen were collected from the digestive tract of Tylosurus acus imperialis (Teleostei, Belonidae) caught off the eastern coast of Tunisia. L. tylosuri is very similar to its closest relatives, L. retroflexus and L. nitens. It can be easily distinguished from L. retroflexus (Molin, 1859) in having a more extensive vitellarium, with follicles reaching from the posterior margin of the acetabulum and extending beyond the posterior margin of the testes and a coiled seminal vesicle. L. tylosuri differs from L. nitens as illustrated by Linton 1898, in having a longer cirrus pouch (0.7 mm vs 0.36 mm, respectively) overlapping the anterior edge of the ventral sucker and a submarginal genital pore (submedian in L. nitens). It's also different from L. nitens as described by Manter 1947 in the vitelline disposition and in having the greater sucker ratio (1 : 1.3-2.1 vs 1 : 1.3-1.6, respectively). Members of the genus Lecithostaphylus are cosmopolitan, frequently reported from beloniform fishes (Exocoetidae and Belonidae) (Brooks 1990), and recently mentioned in damselfishes (Pomacentridae) (Cribb et al. 1992, Toman 1992. In this work, we describe a new species of Lecithostaphylus from the digestive tract of the needlefish T. a. imperialis. This belonid is a marine epipelagic subspecies of Tylosurus acus (Lacépède, 1803) essentially restricted to the Mediterranean Sea. This new digenean species is described, characterised below, and its host specificity is discussed.
