Two species of digeneans, Tergestia laticollis and Biovarium cryptocotyle, were collected from the intestine of sea basses(Lateolabrax japonicus) captured at the Korean Southern Sea. T. laticollis was characterized by having cephalic lobes around oral sucker, six muscular flanges on each lateral surface at level of pharynx, and species-specific egg size. The most outstanding characteristic of B. cryptocotyle was two-divided ovary. These two digenean species were the first recording species in Korea and L. japonicus was the newly recording host for T. laticollis.
