(Philometridae), is described from specimens found in the ovary of Terapon jarbua (Forsskål) (Terapontidae, Perciformes) from the Bay of Bengal. The new species differs from most other gonad-infecting Philometra spp. in the length of spicules, a gubernaculum with dorsal lamella-like structures and a distinct protuberance on its distal end, and a U-shaped, dorsally uninterrupted caudal mound in the male. From a few congeneric, gonad-infecting species with unknown males, it can be distinguished by some morphological and biometrical features found in gravid female (body length, length of first-stage larvae or oesophagus, structure of caudal end) and by the host type (fish family) and geographical distribution. Philometra terapontis is the first philometrid species reported from a fish belonging to the family Terapontidae. A key to gonad-infecting species of Philometra parasitizing marine and brackish-water fishes is provided.
