Abstract

A mesoparasitic copepod, Serpentisaccus magnificus Brasiola, 1979 (Siphonostomatoida: Pennellidae) is recorded based on a single postmetamorphic female specimen from a reared elegant firefish, Nemateleotris decora Randalle and Allen (Perciformes: Ptereleotridae), in the tank of Kagoshima City Aquarium, Kagoshima Prefecture, southern Japan. The fish was recently collected from the Philippines and purchased by the Kagoshima City Aquarium. Nemateleotris decora is a new host for the copepod.
