Two new species of parasitic copepods,Sagum gurukunn. sp. andS. bitaron. sp. (Siphonostomatoida: Lernanthropidae), are described based on specimens collected from the gill filaments of the double-lined fusilierPterocaesio digramma(Bleeker) (Actinopterygii: Perciformes: Caesionidae) and the five-lined snapperLutjanus quinquelineatus(Bloch) (Actinopterygii: Perciformes: Lutjanidae), respectively, caught off Iriomote-jima Island, the Ryukyu Islands, East China Sea, Japan. The findings bring the number of species ofSagumto 14. The two new species are similar in the morphology of the head and the legs 3 and 4 to the three congeners,S. foliumHo, Liu & Liu, 2011,S. paracaesionisIzawa, 2014 andS. vietnamiensisKazachenko, Kovaleva, Nguyen & Ngo, 2017.Sagum gurukunn. sp. is differentiated from the three congeners by the proportions of the caudal rami, the absence of leg 5, and the shape of the legs 1 and 2.Sagum bitaron. sp. differs from the three congeners andS. gurukunn. sp. by the presence of the conical leg 5 armed with an apical seta. A key to the species of the genusSagum, based on the available information on female morphology in previous publications and the present study, is provided. To date, a total of 19 species of lernanthropid copepods considered valid are known in Japanese waters.
