Urotrematidae Poche, 1926 (Platyhelminthes: Digenea) in Chinese freshwater fishes.
The genera Sinineobucephalopsis and Sinogastromyzontrema are diagnosed and placed in the family Urotrematidae. Sinineobucephalopsis macrocirrus is redescribed from Glyptothorax fokiensis in Guangdong and Hunan provinces. Urotrema glyptothoraci is considered synonymous with Sinineobucephalopsis macrocirrus. The new combinations Sinineobucephalopsis postlecitha, Sinineobucephalopsis proeilecitha and Sinineobucephalopsis sinipercae are formed for species originally placed in Urotrema and Urotrematulum. Sinogastromyzontrema guangxiensis is redescribed from Sinogastromyzon wui in Guangxi Province. Urotrema parallelorchis is considered a synonym of Sinogastromyzontrema guangxiensis. A key to the species or species-complexes in the family Urotrematidae is given.
