Two nematode species of the genus Philometra Costa, 1845 (only females), P. ocularis sp. nov. and P. managatuwo Yamaguti, 1941 were recorded from the ocular cavity and the gonad, respectively, of the serranid fish (grouper) Epinephelus septemfasciatus (Thunberg) from the coast of the Tsushima Island, Nagasaki Prefecture, Japan. The new species is mainly characterized by the presence of four conspicuously large, crescent-shaped, fleshy cephalic papillae of the external circle and two small, subterminal papilla-like projections on the caudal end. Philometra cephalus is transferred to the genus Philometroides Yamaguti, 1935 as P. cephalus (Ramachandran, 1975) comb. nov. The finding of P. managatuwo represents the second record of this species and a new host record.
