Abstract

The female of Gamidactylus jaraquensis gen. et sp. nov. (Copepoda: Poecilostomatoida: Vaigamidae) is described from the nasal fossae of an Amazonian fish, Seniprochilodus insignis (SCHOMBURGK). The new genus differs from the two known species of Vaigamus in having a two-clawed antenna and in lacking the rostral spine.
