The Trematoda is a class within the phylum Platyhelminthes, which contains two groups of parasitic worms.

Taxonomy

---

All trematodes are parasitic flatworms. Previous classification systems included the Monogenea amongst the trematoda, alongside the Digenea and Aspidogastrea, on the basis that they were all vermiform parasites. The taxonomy of the Platyhelminthes is being subjected to extensive revision thanks to modern phylogenetic studies, and modern sources place the Monogenea in a separate class within the phylum.

Etymology

---

Trematodes are commonly referred to as flukes. This term can be traced back to the Saxon name for Flounder, and refers to the flattened, rhomboidal shape of the worms.
