Intusatrium berryi sp. nov. and Holorchis sprenti sp. nov. are described from the gut of Sillago ciliata, S. maculata and S. analis from Deception Bay, Queensland. Intusatrium berryi is distinguished from its congeners by egg-size, the position of the genital pore, the size of the cirrus-sac and the lobation of the gonads. Intusatrium is retained as a valid genus despite the fact that its original diagnostic character was misinterpreted. It is suggested that I. robustum and I. secundum may prove to be synonymous. Holorchis sprenti can be distinguished from its congeners by the position of the ovary near the middle of the uterine field and by its smaller size.
