| Abstract: | Bomolochus peruensis n. sp., a parasite of the sciaenid fishes Menticirrhus ophicephalus and Sciaena deliciosa from the central Peruvian coast, is described and illustrated. The new taxon differs from all other Bomolochus species in a combination of characteristics of leg 2, leg 4 and leg 6 and by the presence of spinules on the ventral surface of the last abdominal segment only. This is the first record of Bomolochus from South America. |
