Lernanthropid copepods (Siphonostomatoida) parasitic on fishes of the Gulf of Thailand.

Abstract:

:Five species of copepods (Siphonostomatoida: Lernanthropidae) parasitic on fishes of the Gulf of Thailand are reported. They are: Lernanthropus corniger Yamaguti, 1954 from Megalaspis cordyla (Linnaeus); L. latis Yamaguti, 1954 from Lates calcarifer (Bloch); L. nemipteri Jayasree & Pillai, 1976 from Scolopsis lineata Quoy et Gaimard; L. sillaginis Pillai, 1963 from Priacanthus tayenus Richardson; and Norion tayenus n. sp. from P. tayenus. Except for L. sillaginis, the remaining four species are new to Thailand. Lernanthropus priacanthi Kirtisinghe, 1956 is transferred to Norion as N. priacanthi (Kirtisinghe, 1956) n. comb.
