(syn. Urocleidus crescentis Mizelle and Price, 1965), C. serrasalmus (Mizelle and Price, 1965) comb. n. (syn. Cleidodiscus serrasalmus Mizelle and Price, 1965), and Calpidothecioides pygopristi sp. n. from Pygopristis denticulata; Odothecium raphidiophallum sp. n. from Catoprion mento; and Notothe- cioides llewellyni sp. n. from Myleus torquatus and M. rubripinnis. Four new genera are proposed: Calpido- thecium is characterized by dactylogyrids with a single vagina opening sinistrolaterally, 1 pair of eyes, overlap- ping gonads, a seminal vesicle representing a dextral loop of the vas deferens, and a distal rod of the accessory piece with terminal branches; Calpidothecioides is characterized by species with a double vagina (left branch opening sinistrolaterally, right branch looping right cecum and opening on the dorsomedial body surface), 1 pair of eyes, overlapping gonads, a seminal vesicle comprising a dextral loop of the vas deferens, and a simple termination of the distal rod of the accessory piece; Odothecium is characterized by helminths with a single vagina looping the left cecum and opening on the middorsal body surface, 2 pairs of eyes, overlapping gonads, a seminal vesicle representing a dextral loop of the vas deferens, and a hook-shaped termination of the distal rod of the accessory piece; Notothecioides is characterized by species with the vagina looping the left cecum and opening on the middorsal body surface, 2 pairs of eyes, overlapping gonads, a sigmoid seminal vesicle, and a simple or hook-shaped termination of the distal rod of the accessory piece. Urocleidus orthus Mizelle and Price, 1965, is transferred to Calpidothecioides.
