A checklist of parasitic cymothoids from Malaysian waters is presented based on available literature and material collected from 2010 to 2020. Most of the collected specimens were recorded from waters of Terengganu, east coast of Peninsular Malaysia (facing the South China Sea), whereas literature records were included from Sarawak, along the Miri coast of northwest Borneo. The checklist comprises 19 species in ten genera, seven of which are new records from Malaysia: Anilocra nemipteri Bruce, 1987; Ceratothoa barracuda Martin, Bruce & Nowak, 2015; Ceratothoa carinata (Bianconi, 1869); Cymothoa epimerica Avdeev, 1979; Elthusa sigani Bruce, 1990; Joryma engraulidis (Barnard, 1936) and Renocila richardsonae Williams & Bunkley-Williams, 1992. Eight new host records are based on collected specimens: Anilocra nemipteri was dorsally attached on Nemipterus nemurus (Bleeker, 1857), Nemipterus nematophorus (Bleeker, 1854), Nemipterus tambuloides (Bleeker, 1853) and Nemipterus thosaporni Russell, 1991 (family Nemipteridae); Ceratothoa carinata was found in the buccal cavity of Decapterus macrosoma Bleeker, 1851 (family Carangidae); Cymothoa eremita (Brunnich, 1783) was attached in the buccal cavity of Nemipterus tambuloides (Bleeker, 1853) and Nemipterus furcosus (Valenciennes, 1830); Elthusa sigani was found attached on the gills of Pterois russelli Bennett, 1831 (family Scorpaenidae), and Renocila richardsonae was attached on the caudal fin of Upeneus japonicus (Houttuyn, 1782) (family Mullidae). All cymothoid species listed here are known to have a Central Indo-Pacific distribution, with some ranging as far as the Western Indian Ocean. A cymothoid-host association is here listed from 28 fish families, with the most commonly reported from Carangidae (pompanos, jack mackerels, runners, scads), Engraulidae (anchovies), and Leiognathidae (ponyfishes, slipmouths). This paper is the first comprehensive review of both verified literature records and deposited specimens. A key for the family of Cymothoidae in Malaysian waters is given.
基于现有文献以及2010年至2020年期间收集的材料，列出了一份来自马来西亚海域的寄生缩头水虱类动物清单。大部分收集到的标本记录于马来西亚半岛东海岸丁加奴州的海域（面向中国南海），而文献记录则包括来自婆罗洲西北部美里海岸沿线的砂拉越的记录。该清单包含10个属的19个物种，其中7个是马来西亚的新记录：1987年的尼氏缩头水虱（Anilocra nemipteri Bruce）；2015年的梭子缩头水虱（Ceratothoa barracuda Martin, Bruce & Nowak）；1869年的棱缩头水虱（Ceratothoa carinata (Bianconi)）；1979年的后缩头水虱（Cymothoa epimerica Avdeev）；1990年的西氏缩头水虱（Elthusa sigani Bruce）；1936年的鳀缩头水虱（Joryma engraulidis (Barnard)）以及1992年的李氏尾缩头水虱（Renocila richardsonae Williams & Bunkley-Williams）。基于收集到的标本有8个新的宿主记录：尼氏缩头水虱背附着于黄斑金线鱼（Nemipterus nemurus (Bleeker, 1857)）、线纹金线鱼（Nemipterus nematophorus (Bleeker, 1854)）、坦氏金线鱼（Nemipterus tambuloides (Bleeker, 1853)）和托氏金线鱼（Nemipterus thosaporni Russell, 1991）（金线鱼科）；棱缩头水虱发现于大甲鲹（Decapterus macrosoma Bleeker, 1851）（鲹科）的口腔中；孤缩头水虱（Cymothoa eremita (Brunnich, 1783)）附着于坦氏金线鱼（Nemipterus tambuloides (Bleeker, 1853)）和叉尾金线鱼（Nemipterus furcosus (Valenciennes, 1830)）的口腔中；西氏缩头水虱发现附着于斑驳尖塘鳢（Pterois russelli Bennett, 1831）（鲉科）的鳃上，李氏尾缩头水虱附着于日本乌鲂（Upeneus japonicus (Houttuyn, 17,82)）（羊鱼科）的尾鳍上。这里列出的所有缩头水虱物种都已知分布于印度 - 太平洋中部，有些分布范围远至西印度洋。这里列出了缩头水虱与宿主的关联，涉及28个鱼类科，其中最常见的报告来自鲹科（鲳鲹、竹荚鱼、鲔、圆鲹）、鳀科（鳀鱼）和眶棘鲈科（眶棘鲈、连鳍棘鲈）。本文是对已核实的文献记录和保存标本的首次全面综述。给出了马来西亚海域缩头水虱科的检索表。
