Dinemoura discrepans Cressey, 1967 (Copepoda, Siphonostomatoida, Pandaridae) is redescribed based on the specimens taken from four species of sharks caught off the southeast coast of Taiwan. The four species of sharks are: pelagic thresher, Alopias pelagicus Nakamura; bigeye thresher, A. superciliosus Lowe; blacktip shark, Carcharhinus limbatus (Müller et Henle); and oceanic whitetip shark, C. longimanus (Poey). Although our redescription shows certain differences from the original description, after reexamination of the museum specimens studied by R. F. Cressey in making the original description, it was confirmed that the specimens from off Taiwan are identifiable with D. discrepans. Carcharhinus limbatus is currently known to host 19 species of parasitic copepods, of which D. discrepans is the first one of this copepod genus.
基于从台湾东南沿海捕获的四种鲨鱼身上采集的标本，对1967年的异形迪内猛水蚤（Dinemoura discrepans Cressey，桡足纲，管口水蚤目，熊猫水蚤科）进行了重新描述。这四种鲨鱼分别是：远洋长尾鲨，Alopias pelagicus Nakamura；大眼长尾鲨，A. superciliosus Lowe；黑鳍鲨，Carcharhinus limbatus (Müller et Henle)；以及远洋白鳍鲨，C. longimanus (Poey)。尽管我们的重新描述与原始描述存在某些差异，但在重新检查了R. F. Cressey在进行原始描述时研究的博物馆标本后，确认来自台湾沿海的标本可鉴定为异形迪内猛水蚤。目前已知黑鳍鲨寄生有19种桡足类寄生虫，其中异形迪内猛水蚤是该桡足类属的首个物种。
