title: Lecithophyllum kitrii n. sp. (Digenea: Lecithasteridae) from Australian coral reef fishes of the genus Siganus.
abstract: Lecithophyllum kitrii n. sp. is described from Siganus punctatus and S. lineatus off Heron Island on the southern Great Barrier Reef, Australia. It differs from most other species in the genus in its elongate pars prostatica and globular sinus-sac, and from all other species in having the seminal vesicle almost always entirely in the hindbody.
