Alcicornis haroldi n. sp. (Digenea: Bucephalidae) from the yellowspotted trevally Carangoides fulvoguttatus (Forsskål) (Carangidae) from off New Caledonia.
Alcicornis haroldi n. sp. is described from Carangoides fulvoguttatus from off New Caledonia, South Pacific. It differs from all other Alcicornis spp. in its large protuberant pharynx, and from the most similar species, A. baylisi Nagaty, 1937, in its broader rhynchus, indistinct withdrawn tentacles and vitelline distribution.
