A second species infects the gulf butterfish, <i>Peprilus burti</i> Fowler, and the American harvestfish, <i>Peprilus paru</i> (L.), and it is described as a new species that occurs in coastal waters of the north-central and northeastern Gulf of Mexico. Metacercariae infecting the mesoglea of pelagic jellyfishes (<i>Bougainvillia carolinensis</i> [McCady], <i>Chrysaora quinquecirrha</i> [Desor], and <i>Stomolophus meleagris</i> Agassiz) and pelagic comb jellies (<i>Mnemiopsis leidyi</i> Agassiz and <i>Beroe ovata</i> Bruguière) were collected that resemble the new species but require further study to identify. Newly generated sequence fragments (<i>28S</i> rDNA) from both species of <i>Opechona</i> plus 2 other lepocreadiids collected during the study were aligned with publicly available sequences from 18 other lepocreadiids, 6 species of Aephnidiogenidae , and 2 species of Gorgocephalidae Manter, 1966. The alignment was subjected to Bayesian inference analysis rooted using a gorgocephalid. The resulting tree estimated the positions of both <i>Opechona</i> spp. as being unresolved within a group of taxa that included all available species of <i>Opechona</i> plus available species from the morphologically similar genera <i>Prodistomum</i> , <i>Preptetos</i> Pritchard, 1960, and <i>Clavogalea</i> Bray, 1985. Although relatively similar in morphology, the 2 studied species of <i>Opechona</i> were surprisingly not closely related. <i>Opechona cablei</i> () is herein considered to be a junior synonym of <i>Opechona pyriformis</i> ().","AbstractOtherLang":null,"BibLvlCode":"AS","StandardTitle":"<i>Opechona chloroscombri</i> and <i>Opechona corkumi</i> n. sp.
