description: <i>Paradeontacylix sanguinicoloides</i> McIntosh, 1934 Host species: <i>Seriola hippos</i> Günther, 1876 (Carangidae). Locality: Greenly Island, offshore from Port Lincoln, South Australia (34º38'29''S, 134º47'28''E). Site: Heart. Infection details: number of infected fish = 1; prevalence 25%; intensity 1; host sizes 1160 FL (1120–1160 FL, n = 4). This Samson fish was also parasitised by a <i>Paradeontacylix</i> sp. (see below). Material deposited: 1 voucher specimen SAMA AHC 28910. Previous records: <i>S. lalandi</i>: blood vessels of the gills, Atlantic Ocean, off Miami, Florida, USA (holotype: USNPC 34329, McIntosh 1934); heart, Sir John Young Banks, New South Wales, Australia (34º56'52''S, 150º55'45''E) (voucher: SAMA AHC 28909, Diggles &amp; Hutson 2005). <i>Remarks</i> The single specimen of <i>P. sanguinicoloides</i> from <i>S. hippos</i> in South Australia and a single specimen recovered previously from <i>S. lalandi</i> in New South Wales (see Diggles &amp; Hutson 2005) were identified following McIntosh (1934) and from digital images of the holotype provided by the USNPC. The specimen of <i>P. sanguinicoloides</i> from <i>S. hippos</i> in South Australia shared characters with the holotype including 4 posterior longitudinal rows of large tegumental spines each comprising 3 rose­thorn­shaped spines, a maximum number of 14 marginal tegumental spines per row and a large testicular field relative to total body length. An accurate count of testes could not be determined for this specimen. Shared characters between the holotype and the specimen of <i>P. sanguinicoloides</i> from <i>S. lalandi</i> in New South Wales included a maximum number of 14 marginal tegumental spines per row, a large testicular field relative to total body length and 60 testes. In contrast to the type specimen and the specimen of <i>P. sanguinicoloides</i> from <i>S. hippos</i>, the specimen of <i>P. sanguinicoloides</i> from <i>S. lalandi</i> had an extra posterior spine in each row i.e. 4 posterior longitudinal rows of large tegumental spines each comprising 4 rose­thornshaped spines. Table 1 presents a comparison of important morphological characters between the original report of <i>P. sanguinicoloides</i> by McIntosh (1934) and the specimens reported here.
