Summary: | Lernanthropus indefinitus n. sp. was found as a new parasite on Argyrosomus regius (Asso, 1801). The identity of L. indefinitus was determined on the basis of the morphological features of the female, such as the shape of the dorsal plate, shape and size of the fourth leg, length of the fifth leg, and shape and size of the parabasal flagellum. In addition, new data are reported for Lernanthropus kroyeri Van Beneden, 1851 on Dicentrarchus labrax (L., 1758), and some comments are added on the antennules and parabasal flagellum of L. kroyeri. The present paper raises the number of known species of Lernanthropidae in Turkish waters to seven.
Se describe Lernanthropus indefinitus, nueva specie, paràsita sobre Argyrosomus regius (Asso, 1801). Su identidad fue determinada sobre la base de características morfológicas de la hembra, tales como la forma de la placa dorsal, forma y talla de la cuarta pata, longitud de la quinta pata, y la forma y talla del flagelo parabasal de la anténula. Además, un nuevo reporte de Lernanthropus kroyeri Van Beneden, 1851 sobre Dicentrarchus labrax (L., 1758), y algunos comentarios sobre el flagelo de su anténula son agregados. El presente artículo eleva a siete el número de especies de Lernanthropidae conocidas en aguas de Turkìa. |
