Box 5969, 13060 Safat, Kuwait ABSTRACT: Six digeneans are reported from marine fishes of the Kuwaiti coast of the Arabian Gulf: Pleorchis sciaenae Yamaguti, 1938, from Otolithes argenteus; Tergestiapauca Freitas and Kohn, 1965, from Scomberoides commersonianus and Trachurus trachurus; Allobacciger macrorchis Hafeezullah and Siddiqi, 1970, from Scol- opsis ruppelli (new host record); Paradiscogaster farooqii Hafeezullah and Siddiqi, 1970, from Scatophagus argus; Neoparacryptogonimus sphericus sp. n. from Lutjanus coccineus (type host) and Batrachus grunniens; and Paracryptogonimus ramadani sp. n. from Lutjanus fulviflamma. Pleorchis arabicus Al-Yamani and Nahhas, 1981, is a synonym of P. sciaenae. Tergestia pectinata of Nahhas and Cable (1964), Nahhas and Short (1965), is considered a synonym of Tergestia pauca. New locality records are established for Tergestia pauca, Allo- bacciger macrorchis, and Paradiscogaster farooqii. A key to species of Paracryptogonimus and Neoparacryp- togonimus is given.
