Extract

Five new species are described and nine known species and one new combination are reported from new hosts and new localities. The new species are: Prosogonotrema pritchardae, Uroproctinella attenuata, Bivesiculoides scari, Stephanostomum attenuatum and S. adinterruptum. The known species are: Genolopa trifolifer Nicoll, 1915, Anaporrhutum albidum Brandes in Ofenheim, 1900, Hymenocotta mulli Manter, 1961, Pleorchis sciaenae Yamaguti, 1938, Mehratrema dollfusi Srivastava, 1939, Buckleytrema indica Gupta, 1956, Acanthocolpus tenuis Manter, 1963, A. liodorus Lühe, 1906, and A. luhei Srivastava, 1939. The new combination is Alloheterolebes indicus (Gupta, 1968).
