Two new species of Trematodes of family Pleorchiidae are reported from the intestine of marine fishes from sea coast of Deegha, West Bengal, India (Indian Ocean): Pleorchis santoshai n.sp. from Parascorpaena picta (Cuvier) and Pleorchis keshavai n.sp. from Trachynotus botla (Shaw). In this study, status of genus Pleorchis, has also been critically discussed, and it is proposed that the genus Pleorchis Railliet, 1896 must be classified as member of superfamily Lepocreadioidea (Odhner, 1905) Bray, 2005 and family Pleorchiidae Poche, 1926.
