Abstract

The genus Dupliciporia is considered valid based on observation of the type species, and is considered the senior synonym of Parasteganoderma and Liliaoralis. The new combinations Dupliciporia cephaloporum (Machida & Araki, 1990) and Dupliciporia cataluphi (Korotaeva, 1994) are formed. A new species, Dupliciporia lanterna, is described from the digestive tract of Priacanthus hamrur from the waters off New Caledonia, South Pacific. Dupliciporia lanterna n. sp. differs from its congeners in its elongate body and its rectilinear vitelline fields. Dupliciporia sp. (=Parastegano- derma sp. of El-Labadi et al. [2006]) from Pristigenys niphonia from the Gulf of Aqaba, is briefly described and figured. Other zoogonids reported from New Caledonian waters are Zoogonus pagrosomi from Lethrinus atkinsoni and Lethrinus genivittatus, Parvipyrum acanthuri from Acanthurus blochii, Deretrema combesae and D. combesorum from Parupeneus multifasciatus and Lecithostaphylus nitens from Tylosurus crocodilus.
