Abstract

Two species of the copepod parasite were observed from two marine fishes in Korea. A siphonostomatoid copepod Neobrachiella incurva (Shiino, 1956) (Lernaeopodidae) and a cyclopoid copepod Peniculus ostraciontis Yamaguti 1939 (Lernaeidae) were found on the gills of Halichoeres poecilopterus and the fins of Sebastes schlegeli, respectively. The most distinct features of N. incurva are bipartite of maxillule, 2 ventro-posterior processes and conical genital process. P. ostraciontis is very distinguishable in the body shape, antenna, and fused trunk. Both species of copepods are newly observed from the Korean waters.
