A new species of parasitic copepod Anchistrotos tangi sp. n. (Cyclopoida: Taeniacanthidae) is described based on adult female specimens collected from the gills of hilsa shad, Tenualosa ilisha (Hamilton, 1822) (Actinopterygii: Clupeidae) captured off Iraq. The new species differs from its congeners by having the following combination of characters in the adult female: 1) the rostral area sclerotised; 2) the presence of row of spinules on the proximal and distal margins of the anal somite; 3) the maxilliped claw with 2 long whip-like setae just crossing the distal edge of claw with serrated terminal margin; and 4) the leg 5 ornamented with patched spinules distally. This is the ninth nominal species of Anchistrotos Brian, 1906.
基于从伊拉克沿海捕获的印度鲥（Tenualosa ilisha (Hamilton, 1822)，辐鳍鱼纲：鲱科）鳃上采集的成年雌性标本，描述了一种新的寄生桡足类——唐吉锚鳔水蚤（Anchistrotos tangi sp. n.）（剑水蚤目：带棘水蚤科）。该新物种成年雌性具有以下特征组合，与同属其他物种不同：1）吻部区域硬化；2）肛门节近端和远端边缘有一排小刺；3）颚足爪有2根长鞭状刚毛，刚毛刚好越过爪的远端边缘，末端边缘有锯齿；4）第5对足远端有斑驳小刺。这是1906年Brian命名的锚鳔水蚤属的第九个命名物种。
