The siphonostomatoid copepod genus Scottocheres was established by Giesbrecht in 1897 and now includes nine species. Consequently, these new species introduced new characteristics that must be considered to define the genus. This study provides an emended diagnosis of the genus, describes a new species, discusses the geographic distribution and hosts of the genus, and includes a key to the species. The new species was found associated with the sponge Callyspongia in Todos-os-Santos Bay and can be distinguished from its congeners by a set of characters that includes the presence of a unique seta on the inner margin of the second endopodal segment of legs 1 to 4 and only two spines on the outer margin of third endopodal element of leg 1.
管吻类桡足亚纲的斯科托哲瑞斯属由吉斯布雷希特于1897年建立，目前包括9个物种。因此，这些新物种引入了定义该属时必须考虑的新特征。本研究提供了该属的修订诊断，描述了一个新物种，讨论了该属的地理分布和宿主，并包括物种检索表。这个新物种是在托多斯-奥斯-桑托斯湾与海绵美丽海绵属相关联时发现的，可通过一组特征与同属其他物种区分开来，这些特征包括第1至4对步足内肢第二节内缘有一根独特的刚毛，以及第1对步足内肢第三节外缘只有两根刺。
