Resumen
Pseudorhabdosynochus jeanloui n. sp. (Monogenoidea, Diplectanidae) is described from specimens
collected from the gills of the Pacific creolefish, Paranthias colonus (Perciformes, Serranidae) from a fish market
in Chorrillos, Lima, Peru. The new species is differentiated from other members of the genus by the structure of
its sclerotized vagina, which has two spherical chambers of similar diameter. This is the first Pseudorhabdosynochus
species described from the Pacific coast of America, the third species of the genus reported from South America and
the first described from a member of Paranthias.
