An opecoelid, Bartoliella pritchardae n. g., n. sp., is described from the intestine of Epinephelides armatus from Western Australia. The new genus has been assigned to the subfamily Opecoelininae Gibson & Bray, 1984, bringing the number of genera in the subfamily to two. Although the new genus is similar to Opecoelina Manter, 1934 morphologically, the pedunculate ventral sucker and complete absence of a cirrus-sac necessitate the erection of a new genus. A formal re-definition of the subfamily is given, based on the diagnoses of the genera Opecoelina and Bartoliella n. g.
一种异肉科吸虫，新属新种巴托列吸虫（Bartoliella pritchardae），是从西澳大利亚的武装石斑鱼（Epinephelides armatus）肠道中描述的。该新属已被归入1984年吉布森和布雷（Gibson & Bray）建立的异肉亚科（Opecoelininae），使该亚科的属数增至两个。尽管新属在形态上与1934年的曼特尔异肉吸虫属（Opecoelina Manter）相似，但具柄的腹吸盘和完全没有阴茎囊这一特征使得有必要建立一个新属。基于曼特尔异肉吸虫属和巴托列吸虫新属的诊断，对该亚科进行了正式的重新定义。
