Neopolystoma liewi sp. n. is described from the conjunctival cavity of the Malayan box turtle Cuora amboinensis (Daudin, 1802), in Peninsular Malaysia. This is the first record of Neopolystoma in Malaysia and the fourth polystomatid species described from C. amboinensis. Of the 27 Malayan box turtles examined, 8 were found to be infected. A maximum of 2 parasites per eye and 4 individuals per host was recorded. N. liewi sp. n. differs from all other members of the genus by possessing few and short genital spines and small marginal hooks. The oncomiracidium has 64 ciliated cells arranged symmetrically about the sagittal axis.
新多盘虫属的利氏新多盘虫（Neopolystoma liewi sp. n.）是从马来西亚半岛马来箱龟（Cuora amboinensis (Daudin, 1802)）的结膜腔中描述的。这是新多盘虫在马来西亚的首次记录，也是从马来箱龟中描述的第四个多盘虫物种。在检查的27只马来箱龟中，发现8只被感染。每只眼睛最多记录到2个寄生虫，每个宿主最多记录到4个个体。利氏新多盘虫与该属的所有其他成员不同，其具有少量且短的生殖棘和小的边缘钩。钩介幼虫有64个围绕矢状轴对称排列的纤毛细胞。
