Abstract
Calicotyle australiensis n. sp. from Chimaera sp., caught off the coast of New South Wales, is described. It differs from the other species of the genus in the combination of the following characteristics: length of the penis-tube, absence of medial diverticula of the caeca and presence of hamuli. Calicotyle sp. from Rhinochimaera pacifica and Rugogaster hydrolagi from Chimaera sp. caught at the same locality are reported and illustrated.
