Abstract: Cymothoa recifea sp. nov. (Isopoda, Cymothoidae) is described from the mouths of Centropomus undecimalis (Bloch, 1792) and Oligoplites palometa (Cuvier, 1832). The fish hosts were caught near Itamaracá and Cabo de Santo Agostinho, State of Pernambuco, Brazil. The new species bears a superficial resemblance to Cymothoa oestrum (Linnaeus, 1793) from which it differs in a number of important respects. In the new species, the basal carinae are large on pereopods 4-7 and usually pointed, whereas in C. oestrum the c… Show more

“…nov. superficially resembles C. recifea Thatcher & Fonseca, 2005 but differs from the latter in a number of important features. The new species is much smaller (7-18 mm long) not 11-32, with a mean of 20, as in C. recifea.…”

“…In the new species, the anterior margin of the cephalon is doubled ventrally over the bases of the antennae. In this respect, it resembles C. recifea Thatcher & Fonseca, 2005. It differs from that species, however, in being much smaller and having basal carinae on the pereopods 4 to 7 that are small and rounded (not large and pointed).…”

“…The occurrence of female isopods of the genus Cymothoa in the buccal cavity of other fish hosts has been documented (Sartor, 1986;Thatcher et al, 2003aThatcher et al, ,b, 2007Thatcher & Fonseca, 2005;Bunkley-Williams et al, 2006;Bariche & Trilles, 2008). Occurrence of males in the branchial chamber and on the tongue in the buccal cavity did not show any significant differences statistically, whereas the females showed a preference for the tongue in the buccal cavity.…”
