Diagnosis: With the characteristics of the subfamily.

Type species: Nasobranchitrema pacificum Yamaguti, 1965 from Naso hexacanthus (Bleeker) (type host), Naso lituratus (Forster) , Naso brevirostris (Cuvier) , and Naso annulatus (Quoy & Gaimard) (Acanthuridae) .

Remarks: Young (1969) transferred Nasobranchitrema from Diplectanidae to Ancyrocephalinae ( Dactylogyridae ) based on the apparent intercaecal germarium. However, studied specimens clearly show germarium looping right of intestinal caecum. This characteristic is apparently symplesiomorphic for Diplectanidae (see Kritsky & Boeger 1989) and, thus, it does not support Young (1969) ’s proposal.
