Two new species are described: Lasiotocus okinawaensis sp. nov. from Plectorhinchus gib- bosus (Haemulidae) from Japan, and Opisthomonorchis orwidal sp. nov. from Carangoides sp. (Carangidae) from Palau, western Caroline Islands. One new combination is made: Lasiotocus sparui (Shen, 1990) comb. nov. from Acanthopagus sp. (Sparidae) from Palawan, the Philippines. Three previously known species are shortly redescribed: Alloproctotrema gerres Machida, 1973 from Gerres oyena (Gerreidae) from Japan and Palawan, Opisthomonorcheides decapteri Parukhin, 1966 from Rastralliger kanagurta (Scombridae) from Palawan, and Pseudoproctotrema parupenei Yamaguti, 1942 from Mulloidichthys vanicolensis (Mullidae) from Japan. The relation- ship between Anamonorchis ulua Yamaguti, 1970 and Hurleytrema carangoidis Machida, 2005 is briefly discussed. Key words : Digenea, Monorchiidae, new species, new combination, marine fish, Japan, Palau, Philippines.
