title: Monogenea of Chinese marine fishes. X. A new species and two new records of the Axinidae from fishes of the South China Sea.
abstract: This paper reports a new species and two new records of the Axinidae collected from fishes of the South China Sea. Loxuroides fungilliformis n. sp. was obtained from the gills of Hemirhamphus guoyi collected at Zhapo (21 degrees 34'N, 111 degrees 49'E). The new species is similar to L. sasikala (Unnithan, 1957) Price, 1962 in the structure of the cirrus and genital atrium, but differs from the latter in the shape and number of the spines of its genital atrium and cirrus. Both L. sasikala and Axine tripathii Price, 1962 are recorded for the first time off China.
