Hamacreadium cribbi n. sp. (Digenea: Opecoelidae) from Lethrinusminiatus (Forster) (Perciformes: Lethrinidae) from New Caledonian waters

A new species of Hamacreadium Linton, 1910, H. cribbi n. sp. is described from Lethrinus miniatus (Forster) from the waters off New Caledonia. It is compared with the other species of Hamacreadium reported from lethrinids and is characterised by the size of its eggs which tend to be larger [72–93 (84) vs 54–81 (56) µm long] than those of other species. Other characteristics, such as body size and shape and internal ratios, differentiate H. cribbi from other species; these differences are discussed in detail.
