Pseudohexabothrium taeniurae n. sp. is proposed for a hexabothriid monogenean found on the gills of Taeniura lymma (Forsskål) off Heron Island, Great Barrier Reef, Queensland, Australia. Pseudohexabothrium taeniurae is distinguished from Pseudohexabothrium rajae Brinkmann, 1952, the type and only species of the genus, by the morphology of the sucker sclerites and eggs, and by the size of the hamuli, pharynx, and the "false" oral sucker. The generic diagnosis of Pseudohexabothrium is revised. A phylogenetic analysis places Pseudohexabothrium as the sister group to the rest of the family except Hexabothrium.
拟六居吸虫属新种——宽带锯鳐拟六居吸虫，是在澳大利亚昆士兰州大堡礁赫伦岛附近的宽带锯鳐（Forsskål）鳃上发现的一种六居科单殖吸虫。宽带锯鳐拟六居吸虫与拟六居吸虫属的模式种及唯一物种——1952年布林克曼命名的 Raja 拟六居吸虫，在吸盘硬片和虫卵形态、小钩、咽以及“假”口吸盘大小等方面存在差异。对拟六居吸虫属的分类诊断进行了修订。系统发育分析表明，拟六居吸虫是六居科除六居吸虫属之外其他所有属的姐妹群。
