SOME SPECIES OF NEOBRACHIELLA KABATA, 1979 (COPEPODA, LERNAEOPODIDAE), PARASITIC ON CHILEAN FISHES, WITH DESCRIPTION OF NEOBRACHIELLA PARALICHTHYOS SP. NOV. FROM PARALICHTHYS ADSPERSUS (STEINDACHNER) BY RAÚL CASTRO ROMERO and HERNÁN BAEZA KUROKI Universidad de Antofagasta, Instituto de Investigaciones Oceanológicas, Casilla 1240, Antofagasta, Chile INTRODUCTION Pursuing their studies on the copepods parasitic on fishes in northern Chile, the authors discovered several species of Neobrachiella Kabata, 1979 (Siphonostomatoida, Lernaeopodidae). One of these species (N. paralichthyo.s) proved to be new to science, others have not previously been recorded in Chilean waters, while N. exilis (Shiino, 1956) has not yet been described in detail. The methods used in examination of specimens and preparation of illustra- tions were identical to those described earlier by the authors (Castro & Baeza, 1982). The terminology of lernaeopodid appendages closely follows that adopted by Kabata (1979). The authors are aware of the controversy about the use of the term "uropods" but, leaving its resolution to the experts, they adhere to Kabata's usage for their present purpose.
