Comments: Although described from the Sea of Japan, molecular studies indicate that Neoheterobothrium hirame<br />

arrived in Japan by undergoing a “host-switch” from the southern flounder, Paralichthys lethostigma, to P. olivaceus.<br />

The southern flounder is native to the southeast United States, which we assume is the native region for N. hirame.<br />
