Abstract

Naobranchia cygniformis Hesse, 1863 is one of 21 accepted species of the genus Naobranchia, which is distinguished from other genera in the family Lernaeopodidae by the possession of ribbon-like maxillae. The original description of N. cygniformis lacked detail concerning the armature, and later reports have not included a redescription. Thus, a redescription with details regarding the armature will be valuable for future comparative purposes. Additionally, this report of this parasitic copepod on the seabream Pagellus natalensis from the east coast of South Africa constitutes a new host and geographic record, since the only other Naobranchia species reported from the Indian Ocean off South Africa are N. kabatana and N. pritchardae.

1863年在南非海域首次报道的cygniformis Hesse直鳃目（桡足目：Lernaeopodae），并对成年雌性进行了重新描述

Naobranchia cygniformis Hesse, 1863是Naobranchia属的21个已被接受的种之一，Naobranchia属与Lernaeopodidae其他属的区别在于具有带状的上颌骨。最初对cygniformis的描述缺乏关于电枢的细节，后来的报告也没有包括重新描述。因此，重新描述有关电枢的细节将是有价值的未来比较的目的。此外，在南非东海岸的Pagellus natalensis海鲷身上发现的这种寄生桡足动物，是一种新的寄主和地理记录，因为在南非附近印度洋报道的其他直鳃纲物种只有N. kabatana和N. pritchardae。

期刊介绍： The African (formerly South African) Journal of Marine Science provides an international forum for the publication of original scientific contributions or critical reviews, involving oceanic, shelf or estuarine waters, inclusive of oceanography, studies of organisms and their habitats, and aquaculture. Papers on the conservation and management of living resources, relevant social science and governance, or new techniques, are all welcomed, as are those that integrate different disciplines. Priority will be given to rigorous, question-driven research, rather than descriptive research. Contributions from African waters, including the Southern Ocean, are particularly encouraged, although not to the exclusion of those from elsewhere that have relevance to the African context. Submissions may take the form of a paper or a short communication. The journal aims to achieve a balanced representation of subject areas but also publishes proceedings of symposia in dedicated issues, as well as guest-edited suites on thematic topics in regular issues.
