Two new species of Phyllodistomum Braun, 1899 are described from the urinary bladder of fishes of the Great Barrier Reef. Phyllodistomum hoggettae n. sp. is described from Plectropomus leopardus (leopard coralgrouper) (Serranidae) and P. vaili n. sp. is described from Mulloidichthys vanicolensis (yellowfin goatfish) and M. flavolineatus (yellowstripe goatfish) (Mullidae). These species are compared with 26 previously described marine Phyllodistomum species and found to be distinct in combinations of body shape, sucker ratio and shape of the gonads. Preliminary molecular data also demonstrate that they are distinct from each other and for those other species for which data are available.
1899年布劳恩描述的叶形吸虫属(Phyllodistomum)的两个新物种是从大堡礁鱼类的膀胱中发现的。霍氏叶形吸虫(Phyllodistomum hoggettae)新物种是从豹纹鳃棘鲈(Plectropomus leopardus)(鮨科)中发现的,而瓦氏叶形吸虫(P. vaili)新物种是从凡氏副绯鲤(Mullodicthys vanicolensis)(黄鳍连鳍䲗)和黄带副绯鲤(M. flavolineatus)(黄纹连鳍䲗)(羊鱼科)中发现的。这些物种与之前描述的26种海洋叶形吸虫属物种进行了比较,发现它们在体型、吸盘比例和性腺形状的组合上有所不同。初步分子数据也表明,它们彼此不同,并且与那些有数据的其他物种也不同。
