    Abstract:
    Two species of Bychowskicotylidae (Monogenoidea: Gastrocotylinea) were collected from the gills of the sweetlips Diagramma labiosum Macleay (Haemulidae) obtained from Moreton Bay, Queensland, Australia, during January 2016. Lebedevia n. gen. is proposed for bychowskicotylids having 1) a bilaterally symmetrical haptor with four pairs of gastrocotylid-like clamps and lacking an armed lappet (anchors and hooks absent); 2) longitudinal sclerotized internal ridges lining the vas deferens, 3) an unarmed male copulatory organ, and 4) four interconnected vesicles located posterior to the genital atrium and lying on the body midline dorsal to the uterus and ventral to the vas deferens. Lebedevia lebedevi n. sp., the type and only species of the genus, is described, and Tonkinopsis transfretanus Lebedev, 1972 is recorded for the first time in Moreton Bay. Yamaguticotyla Price, 1959 (Bychowskicotylidae) is considered nomen nudum, and the authorship of the genus is corrected to Yamaguticotyla Yamaguti, 1963.
