- Abstract
Three species of bucephaline bucephalids are described from Sphyraena putnamae Jordan & Seale and distinguished from related forms using visual keys. Rhipidocotyle khalili Nagaty, 1937 is illustrated and measurements given. Rhipidocotyle bartolii n. sp. [syns R. longicirrus (Nagaty, 1937) of Bartoli & Bray (2005); and possibly Bucephalopsis arcuatus (Linton, 1900) of Manter (1940)] differs from R. longicirrus ( sensu stricto) in width, pre-uterine distance, pre-oral distance and cirrus-sac extent. Prosorhynchoides toomboensis n. sp. differs from similar species by combinations of characters presented in a table. The bucephalids of Sphyraena spp. are listed and discussed.
