Triloculotrema chisholmae n. sp. is described from three specimens collected from the nasal tissues of a deep-sea shark, the blacktailed spurdog Squalus melanurus Fourmanoir & Rivaton, caught off New Caledonia, South Pacific. The new species is distinguished from the only other and type-species of the genus, T. japanicae Kearn, 1993, by the morphology of the sclerotised male copulatory organ (shorter and straight versus curved) and shorter hamuli. © Springer Science+Business Media B.V. 2009.
