Abstract
Peniculus asinus, a new species of copepod parasitic on Sebastes (Pisces: Teleostei) off the Pacific coast of Canada is described and illustrated. The copepod is an unique member of its genus in that it possesses cephalothoracic holdfast processes. The discovery of a Peniculus with these processes is taken as evidence confirming the place of this genus in the family Pennellidae.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
