Chimaericola ogilbyi n.sp. and C. colliei n.sp. are proposed for chimaericolids found on the gills of the ghost shark, Hydrolagus ogilbyi taken off the coast of southeastern Australia, and the ratfish, H. colliei , taken off the coast of Vancouver Island, respectively. Supplementary observations on C. leptogaster , the type-species of the genus Chimaericola , are included. The two new species are differentiated on the size and shape of the median sucker sclerite, hamuli, spines of the male copulatory apparatus and eggs. Amended diagnoses for the family Chimaericolidae and genus Chimaericola are provided.
