Abstract
Redescriptions are provided for Callorhynchicola branchialis and C. multitesticulatus (Monogenea: Chimaericolidae) found on Callorhinchus callorynchus and on C. milii and C. capensis, respectively. In particular, the sclerotised components of the haptor are described with reference to the larval haptor. Prevalence and intensity data for Callorhynchicola multitesticulatus on Callorhinchus milii taken off the east coast of New Zealand (South Island) are included. Homologies of the haptoral sclerites are discussed and a preliminary comment on the phylogenetic significance of the configuration of the haptoral sclerites is provided.
