A new species of capsalid monogenean,Benedenia armatan. sp., is described fromLethrinus haematopterusTemminck & Schlegel (Perciformes: Lethrinidae) from off Danjo Islands, Nagasaki Prefecture, Japan. The new species differs from other species ofBenedeniaDiesing, 1858 in that the common genital atrium has spines and the vas deferens has two swellings.Lethrinus haematopterushas been considered as the type-host ofBenedenia ishikawae(Goto, 1894) based on the local name ‘Kuchibi-dai’. However, this name refers not only toL.haematopterusbut also toL. nebulosus(Forsskål), andL.haematopterusexamined in this study was not infected byB.ishikawae. Further study is required to determine the type-host ofB.ishikawaeand to redetermine the species ofBenedeniathat are parasitic onLethrinusspp. in the type-locality ofB. ishikawae(Hagi, Yamaguchi Prefecture, Japan).
