This species is differentiated from other Haliotrema species especially those from Holocentrids holocentrids in having a male copulatory organ with bract-like extensions at the initial of the copulatory tube, Haliotrema grooved dorsal anchors and ventral anchors with longer shafts. The maximum likelihood (ML) analysis based on 28S rDNA partial 28S rDNA sequences of H. susanae sp. nov. and 47 closely related monogeneans showed that H. susanae Malaysia sp. nov. is recovered within a monophyletic clade consisting of only species from the genus Haliotrema. It is also observed that H. susanae sp. nov. forms a clade with H. cromileptis and H. epinepheli which coincides with a similar grouping by Young based on solely morphological characteristics. The morphological and molecular results validate the identity of H. susanae sp. nov. as belonging to the genus Haliotrema. 1. Introduction rubrum were collected in the coastal waters off the island of Langkawi (6°21′N, 99°46′E) in March 2011. Monogeneans were collected from The family Holocentridae (squirrelfish and soldierfish) consists of excised gills of freshly killed or frozen fish and prepared for morpho- 84 species globally with 13 species recorded in Malaysia from three logical investigation. Briefly, the monogeneans were collected from the genera (Sargocentron, Myripristis and Ostichthys)[1]. To date, species of gills, pipetted onto clean glass slides, covered with cover slips and four genera of monogeneans have been reported from holocentrids; cleared in modified ammonium-picrate-glycerin [2].

    i. Mar. biol Ass. tndia, 1968, 10 (1): 126-1^2 ON SOME INTERESTING AND NEW RECORDS OF MARINE FISHES FROM INDIA* By V. SRIRAMACHANDRA MURTY Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute, Mandapam Camp WHILE examining the fish landings by shore seines and trawl nets at various fishing centres along the Palk Bay and Gulf of Mannar in the vicinity of Mandapam the author came across several specimens of Drepane longimana (Bloch and Schneider) which is little known and Drepane punctata (Linnaeus) which was recognised as the only valid species of the genus Drepane, A study of these specimens has shown that these two species are distinct as shown by some authors (vide Text). A brief com­ parative account of these two species is given in this paper, along with a few remarks and key to distinguish the two species. The author has also been able to collect specimens of Platycephalus isacanthus Cuvier from the above catches, and a single specimen of Stethojulis interrupta (Bleeker) from the inshore waters of Gulf of Mannar caught in dragnet, whose occurrence, in Indian seas, is so far not known. Brief descriptions of these two species are also given in this paper. Family; DREPANIDAE Drepane longimana (Bloch and Schneider) This species was first described by its authors from Tranquebar. Cuvier and Valenciennes (1831) studied the specimens of the genus Drepane, both morphologi­ cally and anatomically and distinguished the two species D. longimana (Bloch and Schneider) and D. punctata (Linnaeus). Cantor (1850) also recognised the two species as valid. But subsequently Gunther (1860), Bleeker (1877) and Day (1878) recognised D.

Parasites can play various roles in the invasion of non-native species, but these are still understudied in marine ecosystems. This also applies to invasions from the Red Sea to the Mediterranean Sea via the Suez Canal, the so-called Lessepsian migration. In this study, we investigated the role of parasites in the invasion of the Lessepsian migrant Sphyraena chrysotaenia in the Tunisian Mediterranean Sea. Methods. We compared metazoan parasite richness, prevalence and intensity of S. chrysotaenia (Perciformes: Sphyraenidae) with infections in its native congener Sphyraena sphyraena by sampling these fish species at seven locations along the Tunisian coast. Additionally, we reviewed the literature to identify native and invasive parasite species recorded in these two hosts. Results. Our results suggest the loss of at least two parasite species of the invasive fish. At the same time, the Lessepsian migrant has co-introduced three parasite species during Submitted 13 March 2018 Accepted 7 August 2018 the initial migration to the Mediterranean Sea, that are assumed to originate from the Published 14 September 2018 Red Sea of which only one parasite species has been reported during the spread to Corresponding author Tunisian waters.

It is a singular coincidence for it t6 have appeared in print the same year as Stunkardts nThe Physiology, Life Cycles and Phylogeny of the Parasitic Flatwormsn (Amer. Museum Novitates, No. 908, 27 pp., 1937 ), and this editor well remembers perusing the latter under the rather demanding tutelage of A.C.
