Opecoelidae is a family of trematodes. It is the largest digenean family with over 90 genera and nearly 900 species, almost solely found in marine and freshwater teleost fishes. It was considered by Bray et al. to belong in the superfamily Opecoeloidea Ozaki, 1925 or the Brachycladioidea Odhner, 1905.

Biospeedotrema jolliveti is a species of trematodes inhabiting hydrothermal vent fishes in the south eastern Pacific Ocean. It can be distinguished from its family by its symmetrical testicular configuration; its uterus passing between the testes. Furthermore, it can be differentiated by vitelline fields which extend slightly into its post-testicular region; its intestinal bifurcation is dorsal to its ventral sucker; its genital pore is somewhat submedian or median; its cirrus sac is short and the caeca are large and overlap the testes.

Biospeedotrema parajolliveti is a species of trematodes inhabiting hydrothermal vent fishes in the south eastern Pacific Ocean. It can be distinguished from its family by its symmetrical testicular configuration; its uterus passing between the testes. Furthermore, it differs from Biospeedotrema jolliveti by being squat; wider than long; its tegument being wrinkled; its lobate testes, and the caeca "only just reach to the testes".

Biospeedotrema biospeedoi is a species of trematodes inhabiting hydrothermal vent fishes in the south eastern Pacific Ocean. It can be distinguished from its family by its symmetrical testicular configuration; its uterus passing between the testes. Furthermore, it differs from its cogenerates by the shape of its body; its uterine extent is posterior to its testes and its small vitellarium.

Caudotestis ventichthysi is a species of trematodes inhabiting hydrothermal vent fishes in the south eastern Pacific Ocean. It can be distinguished from its family by its symmetrical testicular configuration; its uterus passing between the testes. Furthermore, what differentiates it from its cogenerates is caecal length; cirrus sac length; its internal seminal vesicle's shape; vitelline extent and arrangement, as well as forebody length and egg-size.

Buticulotrema thermichthysi is a species of trematodes inhabiting hydrothermal vent fishes in the south eastern Pacific Ocean. It can be distinguished from its family by its symmetrical testicular configuration; its uterus passing between the testes. Furthermore, it can be differentiated from its cogenerate species by its long and strongly muscular oesophagus, that bifurcates dorsally to the posterior part of the animal's ventral sucker; its long and narrow pars prostatica and distal male duct, as well as its sinistral genital pore that can be found at the level of its pharynx.

<i>Helicometra</i> Genus of flukes

Helicometra is a genus of trematodes in the class Opecoelidae. It is synonymous with AllostenoperaBaeva, 1968, MetahelicometraYamaguti, 1971, and StenoperaManter, 1933. Its type species is H. fasciata(Rudolphi, 1819). They are distinguished by their unique spiral uterus, from which their name is derived.
