A new species of caligid copepod, Caligus ignotus n. sp., is described from Poey's scabbardfish Evoxymetopon poeyi (Günther) (Trichiuridae) caught off the southeast coast of Taiwan. The parasite was found in the gill-cavity of this benthopelagic fish. The new species is distinguished from its congeners mainly in the structure of the female genital complex (shaped like a guitar) and abdomen (with three sections and gradually broadening from anterior to posterior). This is the first report of a copepod parasite from Poey's scabbardfish.
一种新的锚头鳋桡足类，即隐匿锚头鳋新种（Caligus ignotus n. sp.），是从台湾东南沿海捕获的波氏旗鱼（Evoxymetopon poeyi (Günther)，带鱼科）身上描述的。这种寄生虫在这种中下层鱼类的鳃腔中被发现。该新物种与其同类的区别主要在于雌性生殖复合体的结构（形状像一把吉他）和腹部（分三节，从前向后逐渐变宽）。这是关于波氏旗鱼桡足类寄生虫的首次报告。
