Abstract

Digenetic trematodes, Asymphylodora Japonica Yamaguti, 1938, A. maccrostoma Ozaki, 1925, Anapalaeorchis hamajimai Fujino and Kifune, 1991, and Pakaeorchis displorchis (Yamaguti, 1936) Szidat, 1943 (Lissorchiidae Magath, 1917), all parasitic in Japanese freshwater fishes are described and figured. Data on their museum specimens, hosts, localities and life cycles are given. Amended diagnoses of the family and genera concerned are proposed.
