Abstract
Two species of parasitic copepods including one new species are described based on specimens collected from off Basrah Iraq Arabian Gulf Hatschekia shari n sp Siphonostomatoida Hatschekiidae was found from the gill filaments of the spangled emperor Lethrinus nebulosus Forsskål Perciformes Lethrinidae The new species is characterised by the following characters in the female a rectangular cephalothorax with dorsal frame composed of two short and one long bifid longitudinal bars connecting to one short and one long latitudinal bars elongate cylindrical trunk without posterolateral processes or lobes absence of parabasal papillae and antennae bearing middle segments without narrow median part and with terminal claws without basal conical processes Bactrochondria formosana Ho Lin Liu 2011 Cyclopoida Chondracanthidae was found on the gill filaments of the largescale tonguesole Cynoglossus arel Bloch Schneider Pleuronectiformes Cynoglossidae Close comparison of the specimens of B formosana collected from off Iraq with the original description revealed some differences in elements and ornamentations on the body and appendages Our finding of B formosana represents not only a new record from the Indian Ocean but also from a new hostWe are grateful to Drs JuShey Ho California States University USA and Kazuya Nagasawa Hiroshima University Japan for providing valuable comments and publications Part of this work received financial support from GrantsinAid of Japan Society for the Promotion of Science JSPS Fellows No 234311 to DU
