Dactylostomum nicolli n. sp. is described from the intestine of the goatfish Upeneichthys lineatus (Bloch & Schneider) (Mullidae) caught off Point Peron, Western Australia. The problem of assigning the new species to the appropriate genus, especially with regard to its close resemblance to Paropecoelus Pritchard, 1966, which also infects goatfishes, is discussed. This is the second report of Dactylostomum Woolcock, 1935 from an Australian marine fish. The new species is distinguished by its elongate form, simple ventral sucker papillae and irregularly shaped ovary.
尼氏指口吸虫(Dactylostomum nicolli)新种是从在西澳大利亚州佩伦角捕获的条斑副绯鲤(Upeneichthys lineatus,布洛赫和施奈德命名)(羊鱼科)的肠道中描述的。文中讨论了将该新物种归入合适属的问题,特别是考虑到它与同样感染羊鱼的1966年普里查德描述的副拟似盘吸虫(Paropecoelus)非常相似。这是1935年伍尔科克描述的指口吸虫属物种在澳大利亚海鱼中的第二次报告。该新物种的特征在于其细长的形态、简单的腹吸盘乳头和形状不规则的卵巢。
