New morphological and molecular data were generated for trematodes recovered from the intestines of the fish from two locations in the south of the Russian Far East. Morphologically, these trematodes are identical to (Microphalloidea: Zoogonidae) from Japan. According to results of phylogenetic analysis based on 28S rDNA sequence data, was closely related to , and appears as a sister taxon to these two species.
