Six species ofLethrinitremaLim & Justine, 2011, including two new taxa, are described from the gills ofLethrinus nebulosus(Forsskål) from the South China Sea.Lethrinitrema nebulosumn. sp. differs from all other members of the genus in possessing a copulatory organ with a short, distally recurved tube, a cup-shaped base and a thin accessory piece, arising from distal end of tube, junction inconspicuous.Lethrinitremazhanjiangensen. sp. can be distinguished from its congeners by possessing a copulatory organ with a C-shaped tube, a cup-shaped base and without accessory piece.Lethrinitrema grossecurvitubum(Li & Chen, 2005) n. comb. andLethrinitrema austrosinense(Li & Chen, 2005) n. comb., previously included inHaliotremaJohnston & Tiegs, 1922, are transferred toLethrinitremaand redescribed with additional details, including the intestinal caeca that unite posterior to gonads and continue posteriorly as two diverticula, and the elongate tubular distal end of each haptoral reservoir bifurcating prior to entering a superficial lateral groove on each side of the ventral anchor. The sclerotised parts of two unidentified species ofLethrinitremaare also described.Lethrinitremasp. 1 differs from the otherLethrinitremaspp. in possessing a male copulatory organ consisting of a short tapered tube with a robust cup-shaped base and in lacking accessory piece.Lethrinitremasp. 2 differs from its congeners in possessing a copulatory organ comprised of a short slender tube and without accessory piece, delicate ventral and dorsal bars, and poorly developed outer roots of the anchors. Sequences of partial 28S rDNA (domains D1–D2) and complete 18S rDNA for 27 dactylogyrids including five species ofLethrinitrema, i.e.Lethrinitrema fleti(Young, 1968) Lim & Justine, 2011,L. nebulosum,L. zhanjiangense,L. grossecurvitubumandLethrinitremasp. 1 were used to assess the monophyly ofLethrinitremawhich was supported by high bootstrap values.
