Popis:	Three trematodes are described from three different species of Karachi coast fishes. Complexo-bursa magna sp.n., from Lates calcarifer, is characterized by its large body size, unlotxjd rounded ovary, large operculate eggs, and numerous vitelline follicles extending from the preacetabular region to the posterior end of the body. Monorchis heterorchis sp.n., from the fish Muraenesox cinereus, is also characterized by its relatively large body, median transversely elongated testes of variable shapes, ovary consisting of four distinct follicles and relatively large operculate eggs. Waretrema piscicola Srivastava, 1937 is reported here from the Karachi coast 17 years after its last report from the Philippines, in the same host (Scato-phaugs argus) but from a new locality.
