Transversotrema licinum n.sp. is described from Scorpius sp. and Microcanthus strigatus in Queens-land, Australia. It is ectoparasitic beneath the scales and is regarded as a normal adult, not a progenetic metacercaria. It differs from related species in the curved shape of the body, the distribu-tion of the vitellaria which do not converge anterior to the intestine, and the bipartite seminal vesicle. The deeply-lobed posterior part of the seminal vesicle is unique among Digenea. A.J.
