As a result of an extensive survey of monogeneans on the gills of scombrid fishes of the genus Scomber, especially S. australasicus in Australia, it has been shown that “Kuhnia sprostonae” as previously defined by Rohde & Watson is, in fact, two distinct species, namely K. sprostonae Price, 1961 and K. scombercolias Nasir & Fuentes Zambrano, 1983. K. sprostonae inhabits the pseudobranchs of Scomber scombrus in the North Sea, S. japonicus off Madeira and S. australasicus in Australian waters, and shows considerable variability in the lengths of the hamuli and the genital hooks. K. scombercolias occurs on the main gills of S. japonicus and S. australasicus in many regions of the Atlantic and Indo-Pacific. Other species of gill monogeneans on Scomber spp. are Kuhnia scombri, Pseudokuhnia minor, Grubea cochlear and G. australis. A damaged juvenile monogenean of unknown status was recovered only once in the Mediterranean. The geographical distribution of gill monogeneans of Scomber spp. is discussed.
