The total number of species of Lernanthropidae previously recorded from Australian waters is 15 (i.e., one species each of Aethon Krøyer, 1837, Lernanthropodes Bere, 1936, and Lernanthropsis Do, in Ho Do, 1985; 10 species of Lernanthropus de Blainville, 1822; and two species of Sagum Wilson, 1913), and all of these records are reviewed. We report here the presence of three species of Aethon. One species, A. garricki Hewitt, 1968, is reported from Australian waters for the first time and a new species, A. bicamera sp. nov., is described from the latrid, Latris lineatus (Forster, 1801) caught off South Australia. The genus Lernanthropodes is represented by a single species, L. trachinoti Pillai, 1962. We recognize Chauvanium Kazachenko, Kovaleva, Nguyen Ngo, 2017 as a subjective synonym of Lernanthropodes and transfer its type and only species C. chauvani Kazachenko, Kovaleva, Nguyen Ngo, 2017 which becomes Lernanthropodes chauvani (Kazachenko, Kovaleva, Nguyen Ngo, 2017) n. comb. Lernanthropsis mugilii (Shishido, 1898) is reported here from Mugil cephalus Linnaeus, 1758 sampled in Queensland and in New South Wales. The genus Lernanthropus is the most species rich and we report the presence of 20 nominal species on Australian marine fishes. This total includes six new species: L. alepicolus sp. nov. from Alepes apercna Grant, 1987, L. elegans sp. nov. from Atractoscion aequidens (Cuvier, 1830), L. gnathanodontus sp. nov. from Gnathanodon speciosus (Forsskål, 1775), L. paracruciatus sp. nov. from Protonibea diacanthus (Lacepède, 1802), L. pemphericola sp. nov. from Pempheris compressa (White, 1790), and L. selenotoca sp. nov. from Selenotoca multifasciata (Richardson, 1846). In addition, we report the presence of another four species in Australian waters for the first time: L. abitocephalus Tripathi, 1962, L. cadenati Delamare Deboutteville Nuñes-Ruivo, 1954, L. microlamini Hewitt, 1968, and L. pomadasysis Rangnekar Murti, 1961. After reexamination of the types of L. paenulatus Wilson, 1922 held in the USNM, we relegate this species to subjective synonymy with L. seriolii Shishido, 1898. Previous records of L. paenulatus from Australian Seriola species should be reassigned to L. seriolii. Lernanthropus ecclesi Kensley Grindley, 1973 is recognized as a junior subjective synonym of L. micropterygis Richiardi, 1884, and L. delamarei Marques, 1960, which is based on the male only, is tentatively considered to be a junior subjective synonym of L. micropterygis. Males are described for the first time for three species; L. breviculus Kabata, 1979, L. microlamini and L. mollis Kabata, 1979. A member of the genus Mitrapus Song Chen, 1976, M. oblongus (Pillai, 1964), is reported from Australia for the first time, on Herklotsichthys castelnaui (Ogilby, 1897) caught off Queensland and New South Wales. Finally, two species of Sagum were previously known from Australia and here we add three more. Two of the newly reported species were originally described as species of Lernanthropus but we formally transfer them here to Sagum as S. lativentris (Heller, 1865) n. comb. and S. sanguineus (Song, in Song Chen, 1976) n. comb. The males of S. lativentris and S. vespertilio Kabata, 1979 are described for the first time. A key to the females of the 31 species of lernanthropids found in Australian waters is provided.
此前记录的来自澳大利亚海域的勒氏鱼虱科物种总数为15种（即1837年的埃氏鱼虱属一种、1936年的线指鱼虱属一种、1985年何氏鱼虱属中的多氏鱼虱一种；1822年的勒氏鱼虱属10种；1913年的血虱属两种），所有这些记录都经过了重新审视。我们在此报告发现了3种埃氏鱼虱属物种。其中一种，即1968年的加氏埃氏鱼虱，首次在澳大利亚海域被报道，并且还描述了一个新物种，即南澳大利亚海域捕获的线纹裸顶鲷（Forster，1801）身上的双室埃氏鱼虱新种。线指鱼虱属仅由1962年的杜氏线指鱼虱代表。我们认为2017年的乔氏鱼虱属是线指鱼虱属的主观同物异名，并将其模式种及唯一物种，即2017年的乔氏乔氏鱼虱，转移到线指鱼虱属成为杜氏线指鱼虱（Kazachenko, Kovaleva, Nguyen Ngo, 2017）新组合。这里报道了采自昆士兰州和新南威尔士州的1758年林奈命名的鲻鱼身上的1898年志茂氏穆氏鱼虱。勒氏鱼虱属是物种最丰富的，我们报告在澳大利亚海洋鱼类上发现了20个命名物种。这一总数包括6个新物种：采自1987年的大眼鲱鲤的鲱鲤勒氏鱼虱新种、采自1830年居维叶命名的犬牙石首鱼的优雅勒氏鱼虱新种、采自1775年福斯科尔命名的美丽松鲷的具齿勒氏鱼虱新种、采自1802年拉塞佩德命名的双棘原鲃的副十字勒氏鱼虱新种、采自1790年怀特命名的扁体发光鲷的发光鲷勒氏鱼虱新种、以及采自1846年理查森命名的多带棘头鲷的棘头鲷勒氏鱼虱新种。此外，我们还首次报告在澳大利亚海域发现了另外4个物种：1962年的阿氏勒氏鱼虱、1954年的卡氏勒氏鱼虱、1968年的微片勒氏鱼虱、以及1961年的波氏勒氏鱼虱。在重新检查了美国国家自然历史博物馆保存的1922年威尔逊命名的细叶勒氏鱼虱的模式标本后，我们将该物种归为1898年志茂氏线纹勒氏鱼虱的主观同物异名。此前澳大利亚黄尾鰤属鱼类上的细叶勒氏鱼虱记录应重新归为线纹勒氏鱼虱。1973年肯斯利和格林德利命名的教会勒氏鱼虱被认为是1884年里恰尔迪命名的小鳍勒氏鱼虱的次主观同物异名，而仅基于雄性描述的1960年马克斯命名的德拉马勒氏勒氏鱼虱，暂时被认为是小鳍勒氏鱼虱的次主观同物异名。首次描述了3个物种的雄性；1979年卡巴塔命名的短尾勒氏鱼虱、微片勒氏鱼虱和1979年卡巴塔命名的软质勒氏鱼虱。1976年宋和陈命名的米氏鱼虱属的一个成员，即1964年皮莱命名的长椭圆米氏鱼虱，首次在澳大利亚被报道，采自昆士兰州和新南威尔士州海域捕获的1897年奥吉尔比命名的卡氏赫氏鱼。最后，澳大利亚此前已知有两种血虱属物种，在此我们又增加了3种。新报道的两个物种最初被描述为勒氏鱼虱属物种，但我们在此正式将它们转移到血虱属，成为宽腹血虱（Heller，1865）新组合和血红血虱（宋，宋和陈，1976）新组合。首次描述了宽腹血虱和1979年卡巴塔命名的黄昏血虱的雄性。提供了澳大利亚海域发现的31种勒氏鱼虱科雌性的检索表。
