Taxonomic remark For interpreting the ambiguous phylogenetic status of Astiotrema, Tkach et al. (2001) suggested two variants: either Astiotrema is unrelated to the Plagiorchiidae Revised restricted concept of Astiotrema Looss, 1900 or it represents a heterogeneous group with polyphyletic origin where some of its members may belong not only to different genera, but even to different families; Galaktionov & Dobrovolskij (2003) adopted the latter variant. Pojmańska et al. (2008) considered Astiotrema as incertae sedis within the Plagiorchioidea (sensu lato). Besprozvannykh et al. (2015) revealed through molecular studies that Astiotrema is phylogenetically closer to opisthorchioids and separate from plagiorchioids (as stated earlier by Pojmańska et al. 2008); however, they considered Astiotrema as incertae sedis within the Opisthorchioidea. Due to the potential polyphyletic origin of Astiotrema and its closely resembling the Plagiorchioidea in morphology and life-cycle patterns, we prefer to consider this genus within the expanded concept of the Plagiorchioidea (Pojmańska et al. 2008) until such a time as the actual systematic position of Astiotrema can be determined.
