The subfamily Diploproctodaeinae is reviewed and a key to the five recognized genera is given. Diploproctodaeum is redefined and a key to species given and Caecobiporum is considered a synonym. Diploproctodaeum yosogi n. sp. from Paramonacanthus japonicus, Moreton Bay, is distinguished by its small cirrus-sac and short oesophagus. Diploproctodaeum momoaafata n. sp. from Ostracion cubicus and O. meleagris, Heron Is., is characterized by the number of ovarian follicles. Diploproctodaeum macracetabulum is redescribed from Abalistes stellaris, Heron Is. Diploproctodaeum sp. is described from Cantheschenia grandisquamis, Heron Is. New combinations are made for D. bombayensis (originally Bianium), D. rameshwarensis (originally Bianium) and D. rutellum (originally Caecobiporum). The genus Diplocreadium is redefined and a key to species given. D. tsontso n. sp. from Balistoides conspicillum, Heron Is., is distinguished by its dorso-ventrally placed testes and by its vitelline distribution. Diplocreadium tangaloomaensis n. sp. from Paramonacanthus japonicus, Moreton Bay, is distinguished by its tandem testes and its vitelline distribution. The genus Diploproctodaeoides is redefined and D. longipygum is redescribed from Abalistes stellaris, Heron Is. The genus Bianium is redefined and a key to species is given; Diploporus, Diploporetta, Amarocotyle and Anterovitellosum are considered synonyms of Bianium. Bianium rewa n. sp. from Cantherhines pardalis, Heron Is. and Ryukyu Is., Japan, is distinguished by its trilobed ovary. A new combination is made for B. indicum (originally Anterovitellosum). The genus Diploproctia is redefined. The character evolution, host-specificity and zoogeography of the subfamily are discussed.
