Remarks Ugoi is a vernacular name which indicates a Japanese dace, Tribolodon hakonensis, in Tokyo (Ichthyological Society of Japan, 1981). Nagasawa et al. (2009) noted that only Pacfic redfin, Tribolodon brandti, was a host for L. okae in the family Cyprinidae. Accordingly, Tribolodon hakonensis is a new host for L. okae.
