Additional information

Yamaguti (1971) has mentioned the subfamily name Coouritrematinac Dwivedi, 1968. In fact Srivastava (1960), not Dwivedi, had proposed this subfamily name in view of the priority of the genusCoeuritrema overTremarhynchus. Dwivedi (1967) has ony referred to Srivastavas (1960) views.
