The generic designation is derived from the name of the Greek god, Pelops, the grand-son of Zeus, who had his shoulder eaten accidentally by Demetrius; thus, “Pelops” refers to the empty (= eaten) vacuolated cells composing the sponge-like lateral patches/pads located laterally in the forebody (i.e. at the “shoulders”) of members of the new genus and the suffix “creadium” broadly refers to the affinities of the new genus to other members of the Lepocreadiinae.

Body spinose, elongate-oval; maximum breadth at or posterior to level of ventral sucker. Forebody about a third of body length. No scoop present, but large internal patches of vacuolated cells form sponge-like patches (i.e. “shoulder pads”) termed “pelops” (“pelop” sing.) laterally in forebody from anterior extremity to about 1/3 body length. Pre-oral lobe present, often inconspicuous. Oral sucker spherical to transversely elongateoval, subterminal. Ventral sucker spherical, pre-equatorial, smaller than oral sucker. Prepharynx short. Pharynx transversely oval, well developed, papillate around anterior opening. Esophagus short. Intestinal bifurcation in posterior part of forebody. Ceca two, long, terminating short of posterior extremity near body wall; no ani present. Testes two, smooth to lobed, tandem, contiguous or nearly so, post-ovarian, in posterior third of body. Posttesticular region short. External seminal vesicle tubular or sac-like. Cirrus-sac large, claviform, extends some distance into hindbody. Internal seminal vesicle oval, in posterior region of cirrus-sac. Pars prostatica elongate oval to oblong, distinct, lined with anuclear blebs (distal extremities of prostatic cells). Ejaculatory duct short to long, well developed, usually folded to some extent. Genital atrium distinct. Genital pore ventro-submedian in forebody. Ovary immediately pre-testicular, sometimes contiguous with anterior testis, dextral to almost medial, composed of multi-lobed acini. Seminal receptacle oval to elongate-oval, sinistral to ovary. Laurers canal opens on dorsal surface about level of anterior end of seminal receptacle. Uterus pre-testicular, intercecal. Metraterm distinct, with somewhat thickened wall coated on outside with cells containing large nuclei. Vitellarium follicular; fields extend from level of intestinal bifurcation to posterior extremity, confluent in forebody and in post-testicular region; follicles present laterally but not dorsal to ceca. Eggs relatively numerous, operculate, oval. Excretory vesicle Ishaped, wide, extends almost to level of intestinal bifurcation. Excretory pore terminal to slightly subterminal and dorsal. In intestine of marine teleosts (mainly
