Extract

Nine species of parasitic copepods are reported, with 3 of them being new to science. They are: (1) Chondracanthodes deflexus Wilson from Antimora rostrata Günther, Coryphaenoides (Chalinura) brevibarbis (Goode and Bean), Coryphaenoides (Nematonurus) armatus (Hector), Coryphaenoides (Chalinura) leptolepis (Günther), and Coryphaenoides (Lionurus) carapinus (Goode and Bean); (2) Chondracanthodes radiatus (Müller) from Macrourus berglax Lacepede; (3) Lernaeopodina pectinata sp.nov. from Alepocephalus agassizi (Goode and Bean); (4) Neobrachiella pinguis (Wilson) from Antimora rostrata Günther; (5) Clavella adunca (Strøm) from Macrourus berglax Lacepede; (6) Sphyrion lumpi (Krøyer) from Antimora rostrata Günther; (7) Lophoura gracilis Wilson from Synaphobranchus kaupii Johnson; (8) Lophoura pentaloba sp.nov. from Coryphaenoides (Nematonurus) armatus (Hector) and Nezumia bairdii (Goode and Bean) and (9) Lophoura tetraphylla sp.nov. from Antimora rostrata Günther. The infected fishes were collected with trawls from depths of 828 to 4815 m in the New York Bight and 403 to 1294 m near the Grand Banks (south of Newfoundland).
