Lepotrema justinei is a species of lepocreadiid digenean parasitic in the intestine of marine fish. It was described in 2018.[1] This species was not characterised by molecular means but was distinguished from other species of the genus Lepotrema by morphological characteristics. It is the only species with more or less symmetrical testes, and, probably as a result, it tends to be broader than the other species.[1]
