dc.description.abstract | A morphological review and molecular characterization of Anilocra haemuli Bunkley Williams & Williams,
1981, were completed using specimens collected from Haemulon flavolineatum Desmarest, 1823
(French grunt) and Epinephelus guttatus Linnaeus, 1758 (red hind). Molecular and morphological data
suggest that the isopods parasitizing H. flavolineatum and E. guttatus are different species. The specimens
collected from E. guttatus are recognized as a new species, Anilocra brillae sp. n. Differences between Anilocra
brillae sp. n. and A. haemuli include but are not limited to the pleonites 1–3 of A. brillae sp. n. being
wider than 4–5 and 4–5 subequal, whereas the pleonites 1–2 of A. haemuli are wider than 3–5, and 3–5
are subequal. The seventh pereopod of A. brillae sp. n. is proportionally larger, has more robust setae, and
the setae are distributed more extensively over the articles when compared to A. haemuli. Additionally, this
study provides the first genetic characterization of three Anilocra spp. from the Caribbean, and is based on
mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit gene (COI) for A. haemuli from H. flavolineatum, A. brillae
sp. n. from E. guttatus, and A. chromis Bunkley Williams & Williams, 1981 from Chromis multilineata
