Abstract

Anelasma squalicola is a parasitic barnacle of members of the deep-water shark families Etmopteridae, Pentanchidae and Scyliorhinidae. We report the first published confirmation of this species in the Eastern Pacific Ocean, based on material collected off Costa Rica, its first record as a parasite of the Ninja lantern shark, Etmopterus benchley (Etmopteridae), and a new size record for the host. The information presented herein expands the knowledge (distribution and host usage) of this enigmatic species.

摘要

Anelasma squalicola 是一种寄生在深海水族鲨鱼科（Etmopteridae）、Pentanchidae 和 Scyliorhinidae 成员身上的藤壶。我们根据在哥斯达黎加附近采集的标本，报告了该物种在东太平洋的首次出版确认，这也是它首次被记录为 Ninja 灯笼鲨（Etmopteridae）的寄生虫，同时也创造了宿主体型的新纪录。本文提供的信息扩展了这个神秘物种的知识（分布和宿主使用情况）。
