| Abstract |
Two species of the trematode genus Phyllodistomum Braun, 1899 (Gorgoderidae) are reported infecting teleost fishes from Moreton Bay, Queensland, Australia. Phyllodistomum hyporhamphi n. sp. is described from two species of garfishes (Hemiramphidae), Hyporhamphus regularis ardelio (Whitley) and H. australis (Steindachner). The new species differs from other marine species of Phyllodistomum in possessing a forebody length less than half that of the body, a body length to width ratio < 4:1, an oral sucker width to ventral sucker width ratio > 1:1 and < 2:1, 7-9 strong, marginal undulations on each side of the body and large, slightly lobed vitelline masses. Phyllodistomum pacificum Yamaguti, 1951 is reported, for the first time in Australian waters, from Pantolabus radiatus (MacLeay) (Carangidae). The new material agrees closely with the original description of P. pacificum, in Carangoides equula (Temminck & Schlegel) off Hamazima, Mie Prefecture, Japan, although the specimens from Moreton Bay are larger than those of the original description (4,575-5,338 × 1,111-1,328 vs 2,200-3,100 × 570-930 μm). Cetiotrema carangis (Manter, 1947) Manter, 1970 is found to be a synonym of Cetiotrema carangis (MacCallum, 1913) Williams & Bunkley-Williams, 1996 and the species is formally moved to Phyllodistomum as P. carangis (MacCallum, 1913) n. comb. Phylogenetic analyses of 28S rDNA data showed that the six marine species of Phyllodistomum for which molecular data are available form a strongly-supported clade. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 10 February 2018.
All research outputs
#20,465,050
of 23,023,224 outputs
Outputs from Systematic Parasitology
#637
of 733 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#375,887
of 437,841 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Systematic Parasitology
#9
of 16 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,023,224 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 733 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.6. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 437,841 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 16 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
