Based on light and scanning electron microscopical examinations, two new species of Cucullanus Müller, 1777 (Nematoda: Cucullanidae) are described from the intestine of marine perciform fishes from the coastal part of the Gulf of Thailand, Thailand: Cucullanus rastrelligeri n. sp. from the short mackerel Rastrelliger brachysoma (Bleeker) (Scombridae) and Cucullanus thaiensis n. sp. from the brownstripe red snapper Lutjanus vitta (Quoy & Gaimard) (Lutjanidae). Cucullanus rastrelligeri and C. thaiensis are the first nominal species of cucullanid nematodes reported from marine fishes from the waters of Thailand. Indocucullanus thapari is transferred to Cucullanus as C. thapari (Gupta & Srivastava, 1984) n. comb.
