Abstract: It was the first time that Paradiplozoon homoion homoion Bychowsky et Nagibina, 1959 was found in China. Paradiplozoon homoion homoion Bychowsky et Nagibina, 1959, which was collected from the gills of Rutilus rutilus lacustris Pallas in the Irtysh River (Chinese section) in July 2010, belongs to Platyhelminthes, Monogenea, Diplozoinae, Paradiplozoon. Compared with the original Paradiplozoon homoion homoion Bychowsky et Nagibina, 1959, the morphological characteristics of the Paradiplozoon from the Irtysh River showed high similarities in basic morphological features but minor differences in structural sizes. The ITS2 rDNA sequence of the Paradiplozoon was tested and compared against the ITS2 rDNA sequences in Genebank for homogeneity. The results showed that the Paradiplozoon collected from the Irtysh River with a 100% of homogeneity in ITS2 rDNA sequence of the same species in Genebank.
