Zusammenfassung: | Sagum posteli
Delamare-Deboutteville & Nunes-Ruivo, 1954 (Copepoda: Lernanthropidae) is reported from the white grouper
Epinephelus aeneus
Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire caught off the Turkish Mediterranean coast. This documents the first discovery of this species in the Mediterranean and is only the second record
.
The species is redescribed from adult females and the cephalothoracic limbs are described for the first time. The valid species of the genus
Sagum
Wilson, 1913 are reviewed, and the poorly described species
S. poeyi
Ortiz, Lalana & Suarez, 2003 is relegated as a junior synonym of
S. texanum
Pearse, 1952, described from the same host. A key is provided to females of the ten valid species of
Sagum
and the known hosts for all species are summarised. |
