<span class="mw-page-title-main">Aporocotylidae</span> Family of flukes

Aporocotylidae is a family of trematodes within the order Diplostomida, which contains species commonly known as fish blood flukes. It contains more than 40 genera, the largest being Cardicola. Species in this family parasite fish in both fresh and marine water.

<i>Lepotrema</i> Genus of flukes

Lepotrema is a genus of trematodes in the family Lepocreadiidae.

<i>Lepotrema amansis</i> Species of fluke

Lepotrema amansis is a species of lepocreadiid digenean parasitic in the intestine of marine fish. It was described in 2018.

<i>Lepotrema justinei</i> Species of fluke

Lepotrema justinei is a species of lepocreadiid digenean parasitic in the intestine of marine fish. It was described in 2018. This species was not characterised by molecular means but was distinguished from other species of the genus Lepotrema by morphological characteristics. It is the only species with more or less symmetrical testes, and, probably as a result, it tends to be broader than the other species.
