摘要/ Abstract摘要：本文对hailocra haemuli Bunkley Williams & Williams， 1981年收集的hailocra flavolineatum Desmarest（1823）和Epinephelus guttatus Linnaeus（1758）的标本进行了形态学回顾和分子鉴定。分子和形态学资料表明，寄生黄颡鱼的等足类与寄生黄颡鱼的等足类属不同种类。该标本被认定为一新种——布氏斑甲（Anilocra brillae sp. n.）。布氏斑甲与haemuli的差异包括但不限于布氏斑甲的pleonites 1-3宽于4-5和4-5次等长，而haemuli的pleonites 1-2宽于3-5和3-5次等长。与haemuli相比，bribriae sp. n.第七准足动物的比例更大，具有更坚固的刚毛，并且刚毛分布在物上的范围更广。此外，本研究首次提供了来自加勒比海的三种Anilocra sp.的遗传特征，并基于来自H. flavolineatum的A. haemuli，来自E. guttatus的A. brillae sp. n.和A. chromis Bunkley Williams & Williams， 1981年来自chromis multilineata Guichenot， 1853年的线粒体细胞色素c氧化酶亚基基因（COI）。
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 Guichenot, 1853.
