All the trematodes are illustrated and some problems concerning their geographical distribution are discussed. <em>H. arelisci </em>from <em>Scomberoides lysan</em> (Doublespotted queenfish) is characterized mainly by seminal vesicle constricted into two portions; ecsoma well developed; pars prostatica tubular, long. Characteristic features of <em>S. muraenesocis</em> (host: Indian pike conger<em> Congresox talabonoides</em>) are body very long; ecsoma enormous; seminal vesicle oval, in hindbody; pars prostatica tubular, long; majority of uterine coils within ecsoma, normally fill less than half of ecsoma. Characteristic features of <em>L. alectis </em>(host: Yellow drum<em> - Nibea albiflora</em>) are body surface smooth; seminal vesicle in forebody; vitellarium two lateral masses, divided into three and four digitiform lobes. <em>M. praeclarum </em>from <em>Platycephalus indicus</em> (Bartail flathead), <em>Elentheronema tetradactylum</em> (Fourfinger threadfin fish) is characterized mainly by ecsoma well developed; body surface smooth; seminal vesicle in forebody; vitelline lobes digitiform.</p>}, number={3}, journal={Academia Journal of Biology}, author={Ha, Nguyen Van and Ngo, Ha Duy and Binh, Tran Thi and Hung, Nguyen Manh and Hien, Hoang Van}, year={2012}, month={Oct.}, pages={288–293} }
