Three species (1 new) of HaliotrematoidesKritsky, Yang, and Sun, 2009 (Dactylogyridae), are described from the gill lamellae of porgies, Calamus spp. (Perciformes: Sparidae), from the northern Gulf of Mexico off Florida: Haliotrematoides parvicirrus (Zhukov, 1983) Kritsky, Yang, and Sun, 2009, from littlehead porgy Calamus proridens Jordan and Gilbert and knobbed porgy Calamus nodosus Randall and Caldwell (both new host records); Haliotrematoides bostryx n. sp. from C. proridens (type host), C. nodosus, jolthead porgy Calamus bajonado (Bloch and Schneider), and grass porgy Calamus arctifrons Goode and Bean; and Haliotrematoides mediohamus (Zhukov, 1983) Kritsky, Yang, and Sun, 2009, from C. proridens, C. nodosus, and sheepshead porgy Calamus penna (Valenciennes) (all new host records).
