Abstract

Lepidophyllum cameroni n.sp., parasitic in the urinary bladder of a cottid fish, Hemilepidotus hemilepidotus (Tilesius), from Burke Channel, British Columbia, is described and illustrated. The genus Paralepidophyllum Yamaguti, 1934, is reduced to synonymy with Lepidophyllum Odhner, 1902, Lepidophyllum pyriforme (Yamaguti, 1934) resulting as a new combination.
