A new nematode species, Philometra (Ranjhinema) salgadoi n. sp., is described from females found in the ocular cavity of the red grouper (Epinephelus morio) from the Mexican coast of the Gulf of Mexico (type locality Telchac, Yucatán). The nematode is characterized by the presence of 8 conspicuously large, crescent-shaped, fleshy cephalic papillae of the external circle and 2 small, subterminal papilla-like projections on the caudal end. Another philometrid species, Philometroides belousae n…

Two species of Philometra (Nematoda, Philometridae) from serranid fishes off New Caledonia

Two nematode species of the genus Philometra Costa, 1845, and P. lateolabracis, 1935, were recorded from the ocular cavity and ovaries of serranid fishes off New Caledonia, South Pacific, for the first time.

Two new species of Philometra (Nematoda: Philometridae) parasitic in the perciform fish Cynoscion nebulosus (Sciaenidae) in the estuaries of South Carolina, USA.

Philometra carolinensis parasitic in the host's ovary is most similar to P. lateolabracis (Yamaguti, 1935) in female morphology, but distinctly differs from it in possessing conspicuously short spicules with heavily sclerotized distal parts.

Morphological and genetic description of two new species of philometrid nematodes (Philometridae) parasitic in needlefishes (Belonidae) from estuaries of Florida, USA.

Two new species of philometrid nematodes (Philometridae) from needlefishes in Florida are described based on morphological and genetic characteristics and phylogenetic reconstructions show each of the new species comprise discrete ancestor-descendent lineages.
