Neoalbionella Özdikmen, 2008 comprises 10 accepted species, which all infect sharks of Squaliformes and Carcharhiniformes. Adult females belonging to species of Neoalbionella, based on the maxillule palp armed with three setae and the maxilliped subchela claw with only one secondary denticle, were collected from sharks off the coast of South Africa. Neoalbionella izawai n. sp. collected from the anterodorsal part of the spiracle opening of Centrophorus moluccensis Bleeker differs from its congeners by having maxillae that are separated except at the tapering tips where they are fused and that are longer than the trunk, uropods originating from the pointed posterior margin of the trunk and that are well developed, and maxillipeds without an additional spine at the base of the subchela barb. Neoalbionella etmopteri (Yamaguti, 1939) is herein reported from two new hosts (Etmopterus spp.) off South Africa.
新海盘虫属 Neoalbionella Özdikmen, 2008 包含 10 个已接受的物种，它们均感染软骨鱼纲的角鲨目和真鲨目鱼类。根据具 3 根刚毛的颚须触须和具 1 个次齿突的颚足亚螯爪，从南非沿海采集到的属于新海盘虫属的成年雌性虫，被收集于鲨鱼体内。从 Centrophorus moluccensis Bleeker 的呼吸孔前背部分离出来的新种 Neoalbionella izawai n. sp.与同属种不同，其特征为除逐渐变细的末端融合外，其余部分相互分离的大颚，比身体其余部分更长的身体，从身体的尖后缘起源且发育良好的尾叉，以及在亚螯爪基部没有附加刺的颚足。本文报道了在南非的两个新宿主（Etmopterus spp.）中发现了翼形海盘虫 Neoalbionella etmopteri (Yamaguti, 1939)。
