The opecoelid trematode Dimerosaccus oncorhynchi (Eguchi, 1931) Shimazu, 1980, hitherto known only from the Japanese archipelago, has been found in three species of freshwater salmonid fish (Oncorhynchus masou, Brachymystax tumensis, Salvelinus curi- lus) from rivers of Primorsky Territory, the Sea of Japan basin, Russia. This is the first record of the parasite in the continental part of Asia. Fishes B. tumensis and S. curilus are new hosts for D. oncorhynchi. The ecological notes, morphological description and drawings of the found trematodes clarifying the morphology of the male reproductive system are given. In the present study phylogenetic relationships of the species D. oncorhynchi with the related taxa were revealed using partial sequences of the 28S rDNA. Obtained results indicate the validity of D. oncorhynchi as the member of the subfamily Opecoelinae, which was closely related to the genus Opecoeloides, a representative of this subfamily.
