NEW SPECIES OF THE GENERA PSEUDALLOBENEDENIA YAMAGUTI, 1966 AND LAGENIVAGINOPSEUDOBENEDENIA YAMAGUTI, 1966 (MONOGENEA, CAPSALIDAE) IN THE INDO-PACIFIC

Two new capsalid species, Pseudallobenedenia arabica n. sp. from the g ills of Pristipomoides filamentosus (Lutjanidae) from the Arabian Sea and Lagerzivaginopseudobenedenia tinrowi n. sp. from the gills of Etel is carbunculus (Lutjanidae) from the eastern Pacific Ocean are describ ed and illustrated. P. arabica differs from the most similar species, P. opakapaka Yamaguti, 1966, in the greater width of the body, its lar ger haptor and anterior adhesive discs, the form and sizes of the test es and ovary, and differences in host and locality. L. tinrowi differs from its congener, L. etelis Yamaguti, 1966, in the larger size of th e body and its organs, the absence of eye-spots and Goto's glands, and differences in the arrangement of the genital organs. All of the spec ies in these two genera differ from other capsalids by the presence of a voluminous uterus and an extremely long penis forming a loop. All s pecies in these two genera are parasites of fishes of the family Lutja nidae and are reported from Indo-Pacific subtropical areas.
