Records: Lio-Po et al. 1983; Baticados and Quinitio 1984; Llobrera 1987 | |||
Remarks: Amyloodinium ocellatum is a cosmopolitan, frequently encountered pathogen of marine fishes raised in captivity. Baticados and Quinitio (1984) and Llobrera (1987) reported outbreaks of amyloodiniasis and associated mortalities which occurred in adult flathead mullet held at Tigbauan, Iloilo. |

Remarks: Davy and Graham (1979), in a lapsus calami, mistakenly listed this species as belonging to the genus Trichodinella. Bondad-Reantaso and Arthur (1989b, 1990) considered Trichodina heterodentata to have been introduced into the Philippines with the importation of tilapias. |

Remarks: Trichodina kupermani was reported from young grass carp originating from Taiwan and Hongkong which were examined in Quezon City. As fish from Taiwan were later stocked into Caliraya Lake, Laguna Province, this species is probably established in Philippine waters. Shulman (1984) considered T kupermani a synonym of T. mutabilis Kazubski and Migala, 1968, however, we follow Albaladejo and Arthur (1989) in regarding it as distinct |

Remarks: As noted by Lom and Haldar (1977), this species is probably a synonym of Trichodinella epizootica (Raabe, 1950). Lumanlan et al. (1992) considered T. carpi to have been introduced into the Philippines along with common carp. |

Remarks: This parasite was found on juvenile Chinese carps imported from Hongkong, Taiwan, Thailand and Indonesia and from goldfish originating from Hongkong which were examined at Quezon City. As the Chinese carps were stocked into both aquaculture ponds and natural waters, it is probable that TRichodinella epizootica, if not already present, is now established in the country. | |||

Records: Bondad-Reantaso and Arthur 1989a (-), 1989b, 1990 | |||
Remarks: The synonymy follows Arthur (1995). Tripartiella spatula was erroneously listed as a junior synonym of T. clavodonta by Bondad-Reantaso and Arthur (1989b). This species was introduced into the Philippines with the importation of tilapias (see Bondad-Reantaso and Arthur 1989b, 1990). |

Location: stomach, intestine | ||
Host: Seriolina nigrofasciata | ||

Record: Velasquez 1959 | ||
Remarks: Velasquez (1966, Table 1) in an apparent lapsus calami, listed Bucephalus heterotentaculatus as being described from Seriola nigrofasciata (syn. of Seriolina nigrofasciata) from the Philippines. As her Table 1 summarized new taxa established by Dr. Velasquez, this listing must pertain to B. paraheterotentaculatus and not to B. heterotentaculatus Bravo Hollis and Solgandares-Bernal, 1956, a species which has never been reported from the Philippines. |
Bucephalus various Manter, 1940 | (M) | ||
Syn: Bucephalus pseudovaricus Velasquez, 1959 | |||
Location: intestine | |||
Host: Caranx sp. | |||
Dist.: Luzon | |||
Record: Velasquez 1959 | |||
Remarks: The synonymy follows Velasquez (1975a). Velasquez (1959) also reported this species from the gills, however; this finding was probably the result of stomach eversion during host capture. |

Record: Velasquez 1959 | |||
Remarks: Srivastava and Chauhan (1973) synonymized the genus Bucephaloides Hopkins, 1954 with Prosorhynchoides Dollfus, 1929. The finding of this species on the gills was probably the result of stomach eversion during host capture. |

Records: Velasquez 1959, 1966 | ||
Remarks: Specimens reported from the musculature and gills of Sparus berda (syn. of Acanthopagrus berda) by Velasquez (1959) were immature and thus most probably metacercariae. |

Although not clearly indicated, her listing of this parasite from Eleotris fusca is considered to pertain only to the record Fischthal and Kuntz (1964d) from Palawan Island. Torticaecum nipponicum is a larval name. |
