    A new species of nematode, Philometra morii sp. nov. (Philometridae), is described from males and gravid females collected from the mouth cavity of the red grouper, Epinephelus morio (Valenciennes) (Serranidae, Perciformes). The new species is characterized mainly by the length of spicules (84-90 and 72-87 µm) and the length (54 µm) and structure of the gubernaculum in the male, and by the presence of three large oesophageal teeth protruding from the mouth, the number and arrangement of small cephalic papillae (8 papillae in 4 pairs of external circle and 6 single papillae of internal circle), the length (1.09-1.50 mm) and structure of the oesophagus and two large papilla-like caudal projections, and by the length of their bodies (19.34-30.07 mm).
