Seven species belonging to Pennellidae are reported from marine teleosts caught off southern Africa. Additionally, complete re-descriptions are provided for Propeniculus stromatei and Sarcotretes scopeli. Examination of Lernaeenicus gonostomae, deposited in the Iziko South African Museum, indicated that it has the morphological features of Sarcotretes rather than Lernaeenicus and thus should be moved to Sarcotretes i.e. S. gonostomae n. comb. for which a re-description is also provided. Reports of new host records include those of Pennella instructa from Seriola lalandi; Propeniculus stromatei from Rhabdosargus holubi and Pomadasys commersonnii; Sarcotretes scopeli from Nansenia tenera, and Sarcotretes longirostris from Centrolophus niger. New geographical records include those of P. instructa, P. stromatei, S. scopeli, S. longirostris, and L. longiventris off southern Africa. Additionally, an attempt to estimate the evolutionary relationships amongst some genera is done from partial COI sequences deposited in Genbank.
从南非海域捕获的海洋硬骨鱼类中报道了属于 Pennellidae 的 7 个物种。此外，还对 Propeniculus stromatei 和 Sarcotretes scopeli 进行了完整的重新描述。对存放在 Iziko 南非博物馆的 Lernaeenicus gonostomae 的检查表明，它具有 Sarcotretes 的形态特征，而不是 Lernaeenicus，因此应该将其移至 Sarcotretes，即 S. gonostomae n. comb.，同时也提供了重新描述。新宿主记录的报告包括 Pennella instructa 从 Seriola lalandi；Propeniculus stromatei 从 Rhabdosargus holubi 和 Pomadasys commersonnii；Sarcotretes scopeli 从 Nansenia tenera；以及 Sarcotretes longirostris 从 Centrolophus niger。新的地理记录包括南非海域的 P. instructa、P. stromatei、S. scopeli、S. longirostris 和 L. longiventris。此外，还尝试从 Genbank 中存储的部分 COI 序列估算了一些属之间的进化关系。
