A new nematode species, Capillaria plectropomi n. sp. (Capillariidae), is described from the intestine of the leopard coral grouper Plectropomus leopardus (Lacepède) from coral reefs off New Caledonia. The new species, belonging to the subgenus Neocapillaria Moravec, 1987, differs from other congeneric species of this subgenus from marine fishes mainly in the length (168-186 μm), shape and structure of the spicule. It is characterized, in the male, by the presence of two well-developed dorsolateral caudal lobes, a pair of lateral papillae, a heavily sclerotized spicule with many rough transverse grooves in the middle part, a spinose spicular sheath, and in the female, by eggs measuring 60-66 × 27 μm without protruding polar plugs. The buccal cavity contains a small finger-shaped stylet. Capillaria plectropomi n. sp. is the first known species of this genus parasitizing fishes of the perciform family Serranidae.
Une nouvelle espèce de nématode, Capillaria plectropomi n. sp. (Capillariidae), est décrite de l’intestin de la saumonée Plectropomus leopardus (Lacepède) des récifs coralliens au large de la Nouvelle-Calédonie. La nouvelle espèce, appartenant au sous-genre Neocapillaria Moravec, 1987, diffère principalement des autres espèces de ce sous-genre qui sont parasites de poissons marins, dans la longueur (168–186 μm), la forme et la structure du spicule. Elle est caractérisée, chez le mâle, par la présence de deux lobes caudaux dorsolatéraux bien développés, une paire de papilles latérales, un spicule fortement sclérifié avec de nombreuses rainures transversales rugueuses dans la partie médiane, une gaine spiculaire épineuse, et chez la femelle par des œufs mesurant 60–66 × 27 μm, sans bouchons polaires saillants. La cavité buccale contient un petit stylet en forme de doigt. Capillaria plectropomi n. sp. est la première espèce connue de ce qui est de parasite de poissons perciformes de la famille Serranidae.
