A new species of caprellid, Caprella suprapiscis sp. nov., is described based on several specimens collected from Bahía Chamela, Jalisco, Mexico. All specimens were found in association with the scorpionfish Scorpaena mystes. Caprellids are set on the dorsal surface of fishes. The species is distinguished by head with a short dorsal projection, eyes distinctive, body slender and smooth, peduncular articles of antenna 1 not setose, antenna 2 with swimming setae, gnathopod 2 with three ventral projections in males. The species is close to C. californica, C. mercedesae, and C. scaura for a sharp spine on the forehead but can be distinguished by gnathopod 2 finely setose, and basis of gnathopod 2 shorter.
基于从墨西哥哈利斯科州查梅拉湾采集的多个标本,描述了一种新的麦秆虫物种,即新种Caprella suprapiscis。所有标本均发现与鲉鱼Scorpaena mystes相关联。麦秆虫附着在鱼类的背表面。该物种的特征是头部有一个短的背侧突起,眼睛独特,身体细长且光滑,触角1的柄节无毛,触角2有游泳刚毛,雄体的第二颚足有三个腹侧突起。该物种因额头上有一根尖锐的刺而与加利福尼亚麦秆虫、梅赛德斯麦秆虫和斯卡乌拉麦秆虫相近,但可通过第二颚足有细毛以及第二颚足的基部较短来区分。
