Abstract

Humphreysia hoi sp. nov. is described based on the specimens collected from the gill filaments of Parapercis sexfasciata (Temminck & Schlegel), caught in Kojima Bay, Japan. It can be easily differentiated from the type-species, H. floreata Leigh-Sharpe, 1934, on the body shape, first antenna, and oral appendages. The male is described for the first time in the genus, its claw-less maxilliped is unique in the Chondracanthidae.
