| Abstract: | The new species Diploproctodaeum arothroni (Lepocreadiidae: Diploproctodaeinae) is described from the tetraodontid fish Arothron hispidus from Fiji. It differs from its closest relatives, D. hakofugu, D. oviforme and D. momoaafata, in having 42–54 ovarian lobes, a vitellarium reaching to the pharynx and tegumental spination reaching almost to the posterior extremity. A revised key to the 17 recognised species of Diploproctodaeum is given. |
