Title

Nothobomolochus aigo sp. nov. (Copepoda, Cyclopoida, Bomolochidae) parasitic on the mottled spinefoot Siganus fuscescens (Houttuyn, 1782) (Pisces, Acanthuriformes, Siganidae) in Japan

Abstract

Nothobomolochua aigo sp. nov. is described based on two specimens of the female recovered from the bucco-branchial cavity of the mottled spinefoot, Siganus fuscescens (Houttuyn, 1782), captured by a fixed net at Kuki, Mie Prefecture. The fish was subsequently found in a vessel with formalin solution in which eight species of coastal actinopterygian fishes, including S. fuscescens, all captured by the same fixed net at Kuki, had been fixed and preserved together. The postantennal process and the lateral processes of this species are herein described for the first time for the genus.
