Preptetos and Neopreptetos (Digenea: Lepocreadiidae) from Australian marine fishes

The genera Preptetos Pritchard, 1960 and Neopreptetos Machida, 1982 are redefined. The following species are described and/or recorded from marine fishes. From the Great Barrier Reef: Preptetos caballeroi Pritchard, 1960 in Naso annulatus, N. brevirostris and N. vlamingii; P. xesuri (Yamaguti, 1940) in Zebrasoma veliferum and Z.scopas; Preptetos cannoni Barker, Bray et Cribb, 1993 in Siganus doliatus and S. fuscescens; Preptetas luguncula sp. n. in Naso unicoris (type-host); P. impar sp. n. in Lutjanus erythropterus (type-host) and L. malabaricus; Neopreptetos arursettae Machida, 1982 in Pomacanthus semicirculatus; and N. kurochkini (Toman, 1989) in Chaetodontoplus meredithi. From southwestern Australia: Preptetos rotto sp. n. in Nelusetta ayraudi (type-host), Neosebastes pandus, Oplegnathus woodwardi and Pagrus auratus. The new combination Preptetos trulla (Linton, 1907) (originally Distormum then Lepocreadium) is made and the species Lepocreadium areolatum (Linton, 1900) is considered likely to belong in Preptetos.
