Hamacreadium cribbi is a species of digenean, parasitic in the lethrinid fish Lethrinus miniatus. The species was collected off New Caledonia.
Hamacreadium cribbi is characterised by the size of its eggs which tend to be larger [72–93 (84) vs 54–81 (56) μm long] than those of other species of Hamacreadium. Other characteristics, such as body size and shape and internal ratios, differentiate H. cribbi from other species.[1]
