| Abstract | ||
| In the present work, three trematode genera: Haploporus Looss, 1902, Dicrogaster Looss, 1902 and Saccocoelioides Szidat, 1954 were reviewed. Haploporus lateralis Looss, 1902, D. fastigatus Thatcher and Sparks 1958 and S. pearsoni, Martin, 1973 were redescribed from the mullet Liza ramada from Libya. This represent a new host record and new locality. A comparison between the previous results and the present work is presented and discussed. A key was suggested to distinguish between the known species of the two genera Dicrogaster Looss, 1902 and Haploporus Looss, 1902. | ||
