Abstract
Three species of Trifoliovarium are described from marine fishes from Moret on Bay, Queensland: T. triacanthi (Parukhin, 1964) n. comb. (syns Hysterole citha triacanthi Parukhin, 1964; T. triacanthi Bilqees, 1973; T. triacanthu si Gupta & Ahmad, 1976) from Tripodichthys angustifrons; T. ovarilobulus (W ang, 1989) n. comb. (syn. Hysterolecithia[sic]ovarilobulus) from Paramonaca nthus japonicus and Pelates quadrilineatus; and T. draconis n. sp. from Cal lionymus sublaevis and C. belcheri. A list of the species of the subfamily Trifoliovariinae is given along with a key. A cladistic study of the subfam ily based on 23 characters is presented, the results of which indicate the monophyly of the genus Assitrema and the paraphyly of Trifoliovarium.
