Lecithochirium whitei sp. n. is the first representative of this genus occurring in the Antarctic and the first digenean species normally parasitizing pelagic fishes in this region. The species is tentatively assigned to the "Microstomum-group". It has larger eggs (0.027- 0.038 x 0.017-0.021 mm) than most of other Lecithochirium spp., including all belonging to the "Microstomum-group", and differs from species having similar egg dimensions in the arrangement of gonads and vitellarium, as well as in the intestinal caeca and uterine loops not penetrating into the ecsoma.
