Tol. Aken'Ova et Th. Cribb, Two new species of Neolebouria Gibson, 1976 (Digenea : Opecoelidae) from temperate marine fishes of Australia, SYST PARAS, 49(1), 2001, pp. 65-71
Neolebouria moretonensis n. sp. is described from Gerres subfasciatus (Gerr
eidae) from Moreton Bay, south-east Queensland and N. lineatus n. sp. is de
scribed from Centroberyx lineatus (Berycidae) from off Rottnest Island, sou
th-west Western Australia. C. lineatus represents a new host family and ord
er (Beryciformes) for the genus. The two new species are distinguished with
in the genus by their entire, tandem to oblique testes and cirrus-sacs that
do not extend into the hind-body, by being less than 1 mm in length, and b
y the position of the genital pore and the relative size of the forebody an
d post-testicular region. N. lineatus and N. moretonensis are very similar
but are distinguished by their caeca which extend further posteriorly in N.
moretonensis. There is no apparent pattern in the host-specificity of this
genus.
