In 2018 and 2019, salmonid fishes, Salmo trutta L. and Salvelinus alpinus (L.) from lakes in Iceland were assessed for trematodes during a parasitological examination. Combined morphological and molecular analyses revealed the presence of four trematode species, two of which were previously known to parasitise salmonids in Iceland, Crepidostomum farionis (Müller, 1780) and Phyllodistomum umblae (Fabricius, 1780), and the two remaining species were recognised as new to science. Morphologically and genetically, Crepidostomum brinkmanni n. sp. and C. pseudofarionis n. sp. are closely related to two European species, namely C. metoecus and C. farionis. However, C. brinkmanni n. sp. is distinct by the position of maximum body width and arrangement of vitelline follicles; C. pseudofarionis n. sp. is distinct by its stout body, position of maximum body width, size of muscular papillae relative to oral sucker …
