Seven new and 2 previously-described species of opecoelids are reported from marine fish from Ghana. Pedunculotrema n.g. resembles Plagioporus, Pseudoplagioporus and Podocotyloides but differs from the former 2 in having a stalked acetabulum and from the latter in having a post-oral circular muscle ring, diagonal, overlapping testes, a tripartite seminal vesicle and the ovary opposite the anterior testis. Pedunculotrema capecoastensis n.sp. from Pomadasys jubelini differs from Pedunculotrema ghanensis n.sp. from Gerres melanopterus in the shape of the oral sucker, relative size of the pharynx, and post-acetabular vitellaria. Poracanthium ghanensis n.sp. from Galeoides decadactylus, Pentanemus quinquarius, Caranx hippos and Rhinobatus albomaculatus differs from Poracanthium furcatum in the sucker length ratio, in details of the alimentary and reproductive systems and the arrangement of spines on the genital lobe. The diagnosis of the genus is emended. Pseudopecoelus ghanensis n.sp. from Cynoscion macrognathus differs from related species in details of the alimentary canal and reproductive system. Podocotyle temensis n.sp. from Epinepheles goreensis is distinguished from Allopodocotyle spp. by its lobed ovary, and from species of Podocotyle by the post-bifurcal genital pore. Podocotyloides chloroscombri n.sp. from Chloroscombrus chrysurus resembles P. parupenei but differs in the ratio of the acetabulum to the oral sucker, its stalked acetabulum, bipartite cirrus sac, and smaller eggs. Plagioporus gerridis n.sp. from Gerres nigri differs from related species in the post-acetabular extension of the cirrus sac, the bipartite seminal vesicle and the longitudinal confluence of the vitellaria. Pseudopecoelus tortugae from Trichiurus lepturus and Larimus peli are thought to he new host records. Helicometra fasciata was recorded from several species. A.J.
