Molecular phylogenetic analysis based on 28S rDNA sequences of the new species and previously sequenced dicrocoeliid taxa has demonstrated close relationship of Pojmanskatrema n. gen. with the genus Eurytrema. Considering the non-monophyletic nature of previously recognized dicrocoeliid sub-families we support the recently proposed dissolution of the sub-families within this family.
