New and published reports of zoogonid digeneans from New Caledonian waters are
recorded, including a description of Overstreetia cribbi n. sp. from Atherinomorus
lacunosus. This species differs from its congeners in the detail of its circum-oral
spination and some metrical features. Other new records are of: Diphterostomum
plectorhynchi Machida, Kamegai & Kuramochi, 2006 in Diagramma pictum;
Parvipyrum acanthuri (Pritchard, 1963) in Acanthurus dussumieri; Zoogonoides
viviparus (Olsson, 1868) in Lagocephalus sceleratus; Deretrema ? combesorum
(Bray & Justine, 2008a; Bray & Justine, 2008b) early ovigerous forms in Parupeneus
pleurostigma; D? acutum (Pritchard, 1963) in P. barberinus; and an unidentified immature
zoogonid in P. multifasciatus. The newly reported specimens are illustrated
and measurements given. The distribution of New Caledonian zoogonids is listed.
