Abstract
A detailed description of both sexes of a new species, Lernanthropus c apistroides, is given. Specimens were samples from the host Otolithes ruber (Schneider, 1801), collected from Lake St. Lucia, South Africa. Morphological detail was observed with the aid of scanning electron mi croscopy. This species was compared with its nearest congener, L-gisle ri van Beneden, 1852.
