Abstract
Three species of Kiluluma Skrjabin, 1916 were identified in Ceratotherium simium (Burchell) from a captive population in New South Wales, Australia, based on analysis of the second internal transcribed spacer (ITS-2) of ribosomal DNA. One species was identified as K. solitaria Thapar, 1924 and is redescribed. A second species is new and is described here as K. ceratotherii n. sp. The third species is new but was represented by two individuals only and is described but is not named.
