Dist.: Palawan
Record: Fischthal and Kuntz 1964c
Remarks: Velasquez (1975a) listed Paraplerurus sauridae as a junior synonym of Plerurus longicaudatus (Yamaguti, 1953); however, Bray (1990) considered both these names to be synonyms of Plerurus digitatus.

FAMILY LECITHASTERIDAE

SUBFAMILY HYSTEROLECITHINAE

Dist: Palawan
Record: Fischthal and Kuntz 1964c
Remarks: Although Overstreet (1973) synonymized the genus Brachadena Linton, 1910 with Aponurus Looss, 1907, Velasquez (1975a) considered it to be valid.

Remarks: The synonymy is provided by Cribb et al. (1992), who reviewed the family Transversotrematidae.
Velasquez (1958), initially believing this parasite to be a progenetic metacercaria, listed the site of infection as the muscles and intestine. In a study of the life cycle (Velasquez 1961b), she was able to infect Mollenesia latipinna (syn. of Poecilia latipinna ) experimentally.
Transversotrema patialense has been reported to cause problems in tilapia culture on Luzon Island. Velasquez (1986a, 1988) reported that a “whirling syndrome” was associated with infections in tilapia raised in ponds at Pililia, while Palisoc (1988) noted high mortality in pond-reared fish at Cardona.

 Location: musculature
Hosts:Clarias macrocephalus
Oreochromis mossambicus
Dist.: Luzon (experimental)
Record: Sirikantayakul 1985
Remarks: The life cycle of Orientocreadium batrachoides in the Philippines was elucidated experimentally by Sirikantayakul (1985), who demonstrated that the snail Lymnaea viridis served as both the first intermediate and the primary second intermediate host. A few metacercariae were also recovered from tilapia and catfish fry, and other aquatic organisms experimentally exposed to newly emerged cercariae.

Remarks: Velasquez (1975a) redescribed this species based on specimens from Clarias macrocephalus.
Sirikantayakul (1985) also established experimental infections in C. macrocephalus.
Kabata (1985) listed many additional fish species as host to this parasite in the Philippines; however, this resulted from a misinterpretation of Velasquez (1975a), who summarized hosts reported throughout the parasite's world-wide distribution.

 Location: intestine
Host: Sargocentron violaceum .
Dist.: Palawan
Record: Fischthal and Kuntz 1964b
Remarks: The synonymy follows Sekerak and Arai (1974), who also noted that H. nasae is possibly a synonym of H. equilata (Manter, 1933).

Remarks: Bray et al. (1993b) considered this species a synonym of Preptetos xesuri (Yamaguti, 1940); however, Bray and Cribb (1996) have recently substantiated its validity.

SUPERFAMILY OPISTHORCHIOIDEA

FAMILY CRYPTOGONIMIDAE

Neochasmus microvatus (Tubangui, 1928)(F)
 Tubangui and Masiluñgan 1944 metacercaria
 Location: not given
Host: unspecified fish
Dist: Philippines
Record: Lopez 1979
Remarks: This report is based on the unpublished findings of Dr. C.C. Velasquez.

Neochasmus microvatus (Tubangui, 1928) Tubangui and Masiluñgan 1944(F)
 Syn.: Metadena microvata Tubangui, 1928

Ascocotyle sp. metacercaria(F)
 Location: gills
Host: Trichogaster lalia
Dist.: Luzon (aquarium)
Records: Lumanlan et al. 199033, 1992
Remarks: This genus has not been recorded from Philippine natural waters, the record of Lumanlan et al. (1992) involving a dwarf gourami imported from Singapore for the ornamental fish trade which was examined in Quezon City.
Centrocestus caninus Leiper, 1913 metacercaria(F,B)
  Syn.: Stamnosoma formosanum Nishigori, 1924
 Location: gills
Hosts:Anabas testudineus (1)
Channa striata (1)
Glossogobius giuris (1)
Hyporhamphus dussumieri (2)
Terapon plumbeus (1,2)
Dist.: Luzon
Records: 1. Vazquez-Colet and Africa 193934, 2. 1940
Remarks: Velasquez (1986a) noted that intestinal infection in man has been recorded from Manila.
 
Centrocestus sp. metacercaria(F &/or B)
  Syn.: Stamnosoma sp. Hosts: Ambassis buruensis
 Location: not given
Hosts:Ambassis buruensis
Atherina balabacensis  
Dist: Luzon
Record: Vaquez-Colet and Africa 1938
 
Cercarioides sp. metacercaria(F &/or B)
  Syn.: Microlistrum sp.
 Location: [musculature]
Host: Ambassis buruensis
Dist.: Luzon
Record: Vazquez-Colet and Africa 1938
Remarks: The synonymy follows Velasquez (1975a).
Galactosomum anguillarum (Tubangui, 1933) Tubangui and Africa, 1938 species inquirenda metacercaria?(M)
  Syn.: Haplorchis anguillarum Tubangui, 1933
 Location: intestine
Host: Anguilla marmorata
Dist.: Leyte
Record: Tubangui 1933b
Remarks: This species was redescribed from the original specimens by Tubangui and Africa (1938) who transferred it to the genus Galactosomum. Yamaguti (1958) listed it as belonging to the genus Tubanguia Srivastava, 1935. However, Pearson (1973) noted that the single type specimen of G. anguillarum, the only species in the genus Tubanguia, had been destroyed, and as a result, the position of the genus could not be decided. He thus listed G. anguillarum (Tubangui, 1933) as species indeterminata. We follow Velasquez (1975a) in considering it a species inquirenda.
It seems probable that this report involves a metacercaria occurring on the host's viscera which was accidently liberated from its cyst during dissection.

Haplorchis pumilio (Looss, 1896) Looss, 1899 metacercaria(F,B)
  Syn.: Haplorchis taihokui (Nishigori, 1924)
 Location: musculature
Hosts:Ambassis buruensis (1)
Channa striata (1)
Gerres filamentosus (1)
Glossogobius guirus (1)
Puntius binotatus (2)
Siganus javus (1)
Terapon plumbeus (1)
Dist: Luzon, Mindanao
Records: 1. Vazquez-Colet and Africa 1939 (Luzon); 2. Velasquez 1973a (Mindanao)
Remarks: The first valid report of Haplorchis pumilio (as H. taihokui) from the Philippines is that of Vazquez-Colet and Africa (1939)35. The reports of this species (as Monorchotrema taihokui) by Garcia (1936) and Africa et al. (1937) are referred to H. yokogawai (Katsuta, 1932), following Africa (1937, 1938a, 1938b) and Refuerzo (1940).
Haplorchis pumilio is of potential zoonotic importance in the Philippines (see Velasquez 1982a).
 
Haplorchis taichui (Nishigori, 1924) Chen, 1936 metacercaria(F,B)

Remarks: Velasquez (1982a, 1986a), summarizes the host and geographical distribution of this zoonotically important species.
 
Haplorchis yokogawai (Katsuta, 1932) Chen, 1936 metacercaria(F,B)
 Syn.:Monorchotrema yokogawai Katsuta, 1932

Remarks: In the Philippines, Haplorchis yokogawai has been associated with human infections involving myocardial complications and heart failure due to blockage of coronary vessels caused by the parasite's eggs entering the circulatory system via the intestinal mucosa (see Africa 1937, 1938a; Refuerzo 1940). Human infections occur via ingestion of metacercariae in raw or inadequately cooked fish. Piscivorous birds, and dogs and cats serve as natural definitive hosts. Velasquez (1982a, 1986a), summarizes the host and geographical distribution of this zoonotically important species.
The reports of Monorchotrema taikohui by Garcia (1936) and Africa et al. (1937) are referred to H. yokogawai following Africa (1937, 1938a, b) and Refuerzo (1940).

Remarks: Pearson and Ow-Yang (1982) listed Procerovum varium of Velasquez (1973a) as a synonym of P. calderoni. These authors also considered it likely that the metacercariae illustrated in figures 3 and 6 of Velasquez (1973c) were not P. calderoni.
Africa (1938b) noted that this species infects dogs, cats and man in the Philippines.
Procerovum varium Onji and Nishio 1916 metacercaria(B)
 Syn.:Haplorchis sisoni Africa, 1938
 Procerovum sisoni (Africa, 1938)

Dist.: Luzon
Records: 1. Africa 1938b (-); 2. Vazquez-Colet and Africa 1939, 3. 1940; 4. Velasquez 1966
Remarks: Pearson and Ow-Yang (1982) referred Procerovum varium of Velasquez, 1973a to P. calderoni. The records of Velasquez (1966) of P. sisoni from two of the same hosts and from the same locality may thus also involve a misidentification of P. calderoni.

Record: Velasquez 1977b
Remarks: Williams and Beverley-Burton (1989) redescribed the adults of this species from Heron Island, Australia, while Whittington and Kearn (1992) described the egg, oncomiracidium and juvenile from specimens tentatively identified as E. caballeroi from the same locality.
Williams and Beverley-Burton (1989) note that members of the genus Encotyllabe attach to the papillae of the host's pharynx, lower pharyngeal plate or gill arches, rather than to the gill filaments.
 
Neobenedenia manilae Velasquez, 1982(M)

Dist.: Visayan islands
Record: Velasquez 1982b
Remarks: Velasquez (1982b) notes that the host may have been misidentified; other reports of this species have involved members of the genus Makaira.
The generic position of this species is unsettled. Yamaguti (1963a) considered the genus Tristomella Guiart, 1938 a synonym of Capsala Bosc, 1811, a decision followed by Egorova (1989); however, Pozdnyakov (1990), in his synopsis of scombrid parasites, retains Tristomella.

Dist: Luzon, Mindanao
Records: Natividad et al. 1986b (Luzon); Bondad-Reantaso and Arthur 1989a (-), 1990 (Luzon, Mindanao)
Remarks: Douëllou (1993) elevated Cichlidogyrus longicornis gravivaginus Paperna and Thurston, 1969 to specific status and regarded the only other subspecies, C. longicornus minus Dossou, 1982, as conspecific with C. l. longicornis.
This species was introduced with the importation of tilapias (see Bondad-Reantaso and Arthur 1990).

Remarks: Velasquez (1977a) reported that Dactylogyrus was responsible for 20% mortalities of catfish raised at a farm in Pansol, Laguna.
Reports of Dactylogyrus species on Clarias spp. are likely misidentifications, as these monogeneans do not occur on members of this genus in Southeast Asia (S.L.H. Lim, Universiti Malaya, Kuala Lumpur, pers. comm.). Similarly, reports of this genus on the gills of tilapias probably involve Cichlidogyrus spp.

27 The report of this helminth from Scarus lunula (Snyder) (syn. of S. festivus ) by Velasquez (1974) may involve a misidentification of S. chameleon Randall and Choat, a species much more frequently encountered in the Philippines (D.R. Bellwood, James Cook University, Townsville, pers. comm.).

28 Material reported only as belonging to the genus Transversotrema in the abstracts of Natividad et al. (1986a) and Regidor et al. (1986) was later recorded as T. laruei in their papers (Natividad et al. 1986b, Regidor and Arthur 1986).

29 The record of Tubangui and Francisco (1930) involved fish held in an aquarium in Manila.

30 Helminths identified as Opecoelus sp. by Lopez (1979) were subsequently assigned to Opegaster minima by Lopez (1986, 1988).

31 The report of Lopez (1988) for Glossogobius giuris is given only in her abstract

44 The record of this species from Terapon plumbeus is given only in Table 3 of Vazquez-Colet and Africa (1939).

45 Velasquez (1986b) noted that Puntius amarus, P. binotatus, P. disa, P. manalak and Spratellicypris palata were the species of fishes parasitized; but in this preliminary abstract, she did not indicate which parasite taxa occur in individual host species.

46 The records of Lumanlan et al. (1992) involve imported aquarium fishes which were examined in Quezon City.

47 The records of Lumanlan et al. (1992) involve imported fishes which were examined in Quezon City.

48 This report involves an aquarium fish imported from Singapore which was examined in Quezon City.

49 Tubangui (1931b) originally listed this parasite as occurring on Lutianus lioglossus; however, this host identification was later (Tubangui 1947) amended to Lutjanus sp.

50 Material reported only as Cichlidogyrus in the abstract of Natividad et al (1986a) was noted by Natividad et al. (1986b) to contain C. longicornis, C. sclerosus, C. tiberianus and C. tilapiae.

51 The record of Lumanlan et al. (1992) involves Nile tilapia imported from Thailand for aquaculture purposes.

52 Tubangui (1931b) originally gave the host name as Lutianus lioglossus but subsequently (Tubangui 1947) corrected the identification to Lutjanus sp.

53 The report of Lumanlan et al. (1992) involves an aquarium fish imported from Hongkong which was examined in Quezon City.

54 The report of Hopkins and Cruz (1982) involves a tentative parasite identification.

55 Palisoc (1988), in his study on disease problems at Laguna Lake, noted that Dactylogyrus was among the parasites found on tilapia, milkfish, dalag and carp; however, he did not indicate on which hosts individual parasite taxa were found.

56 The reports of Lumanlan et al. (1990, 1992) involve fishes imported for aquaculture and the aquarium trade which were examined in Quezon City.

57 Some of the specimens reported as Gyrodactylus sp. by Natividad et al. (1986b) and Bondad-Reantaso and Arthur (1990) were subsequently described as G. niloticus and G. shariffi by Cone et al. (1995).

58 The report of Lumanlan et al. (1992) involves imported goldfish examined in Quezon City.

59 Natividad (1986,1988) examined fishes (Channa striata, Clarias batrachus, Puntius javanicus and Trichogaster pectoralis) from various localities around Laguna Lake, Luzon Island, but did not indicate which host species were infected with Monogenea.

60 The report of Natividad (1988) appears only in the abstract

61 The material of Lio-Po and Barry (1988) was reported as “…perhaps a monogenean trematode…” and was listed as such in their Table XIV.l.
