Etymology. The new species is named after Dr. Tom Cribb, University of
Queensland, Australia, for his great contribution to our understanding of fish trematode diversity, and particularly his contribution to the species descriptions of Phyllodistomum species.
Description. Measurements are of 10 gravid specimens. Body spatuled, with lateral margins smooth, 926– 1,841 (1,465) long, 477–1,224 (900) wide; maximum width at level of hindbody; body length/width 1.2–1.6 (1.5). Forebody relatively short, 423–665 (552) long, 323–590 (469) wide, representing 33–46% (39%) of total body length. Hindbody discoid, 237–1,201 (825) long, 477–1,224 (954) wide. Tegument with numerous tiny papillae. Oral sucker opening subterminally, rounded, 174–292 (239) long, 147–289 (239) wide, bearing eight welldeveloped papillae. Ventral sucker slightly wider than long, 145–252 (201) long, 149–277 (221) wide, bearing six well-developed papillae, one anterior, 4 lateral and 1 posterior. Oral sucker/ventral sucker length and width ratio 1:0.83–0.86 (1:0.84), 1:0.96–1.01 (1:0.92), respectively. Prepharynx and pharynx absent. Oesophagus very short (not visible in holotype), straight, 34–67 (55) long. Intestinal bifurcation 199–373 (296) from anterior end. Caeca wide, running laterally into the hindbody, ending blindly half the distance between testes and posterior end of body; right caecum 52–341 (220), left caecum 77–350 (221) from posterior end. Testes 2, entire to slightly lobed, oblique. Anterior testis 121–271(192) long, 96–267 (186) wide; posterior testis 80–300 (177) long, 104–283 (186) wide. Seminal vesicle saccular, relatively short. Pars prostatica not observed. Genital pore median, at level of caecal bifurcation, 262–439 (321) from anterior end. Ovary lobed (3–5 lobes), amphitypic, dextral in 6 specimens, sinistral in 2, lateral to anterior testis, 63–179 (110) long, 121–159 (139) wide. Two compact vitelline glands, ovoid to almost round, entire, immediately posterior to ventral sucker; right vitelline gland 48–93 (69) long, 62–146 (114) wide, left vitelline gland 54–100 (79) long, 60–143 (103) wide. Laurer´s canal not observed. Uterus extensively coiled, occupying all hindbody, inter- and extracaecal. Eggs oval to slightly rounded, 18–37 (28) long, 13–26 (20) wide. Excretory vesicle not observed. Excretory pore subterminal.
