Description
Novel records of marine fish-infecting blood flukes (Aporocotylidae Odhner, 1912) were obtained from several locations across the South African coastline. These constitute the first records of aporocotylid flukes from the region. A new genus, Paraskoulekia, is proposed for two new species of aporocotylids found in the hearts of Hottentot seabream, Pachymetopon blochii (Valenciennes) and bronze seabream, Pachymetopon grande Günther (Sparidae).
