Abstract
This paper is based on thirteen specimens of trematodes representing two genera, collected in 1941 by Dr. Donald V. Moore from Polynemus octonemus Girard, a threadfin fish, in the vicinity of Galveston, Texas. Three of the specimens are identified as Pseudopecoeloides carangi (Yamaguti, 1934); the other ten species are considered a new species of Opecoeloides Odhhner, 1928.
