Helminthological examinations of the red mullet Mullus barbatus (Linnaeus) (Mullidae) from the Gulf of Hammamet, off Tunisia, revealed the presence of one undescribed gonad-infecting nematode species, Philometra barbata n. sp. (Philometridae). The new species as other congeneric species is mainly characterized by the shape of the caudal mound, the distribution of the caudal papillae and the shape of the gubernaculum with the presence of a dorsal protuberance consisting of two dorsolateral lamellar parts separated from each other by a smooth median field in the male. The new species differs from its gonadinfecting congeners in the body length of male, the length of spicules and gubernaculum. This is the second nominal species of Philometra reported from fishes of the family Mullidae and the 14th from the Mediterranean Sea.
对来自突尼斯哈马迈特湾的羊鱼（Mullus barbatus，林奈命名，鲱鲤科）进行的蠕虫学检查发现了一种未描述过的感染性腺的线虫新物种，巴氏菲尔ometra线虫（Philometra barbata n. sp.，菲尔ometra科）。该新物种与其他同属物种一样，主要特征在于尾丘的形状、尾乳突的分布以及交接器的形状，雄性交接器存在一个背侧突起，由两个背外侧片状部分组成，中间有一个光滑的中位区域将它们彼此分开。新物种在雄性体长、交合刺和交接器长度方面与其感染性腺的同属物种不同。这是鲱鲤科鱼类中报道的第二个菲尔ometra属命名物种，也是地中海地区报道的第14个该属物种。
