Abstract
Tonkinopsis transfretanus Lebedev, 1972 is redescribed and illustrated based on new material from the gills of Diagramma labiosum from Heron Island, Australia. This represents a new host and locality record for this monogenean species. The generic diagnosis is revised to include details of the buccal suckers, the male copulatory organ and the common genital atrium. A description of the oncomiracidium, which is unciliated, is also included.
