New species of Skrjabinolecithum (Digenea: Waretrematinae), Skrjabinolecithum pyriforme n. sp., described from the intestine of Liza haematocheila and Mugil cephalus from Primorsky Region, Russia. These worms differ from S. vitellosum and S. lobolecithum by the presence of two caeca as S. spasskii and S. indicum. These two species differ morphologically from S. pyriforme n. sp. by a number of features, including sizes of body width, oral sucker, pharynx, eggs and ratio of length and width of the body. The most similar to S. pyriforme n. sp. is Platydidymus flecterotestis (Zhukov, 1971) with some differences of maximal body length, testis and eggs sizes. Results of molecular analysis confirmed that new species belong to Skrjabinolecithum on the basis of close relationships with type species - S. spasskii.
