TI  - A new species of Spirophilometra (Nematoda: Philometridae) from the yellowfin 
      snook Centropomus robalito (Osteichthyes) in southern Mexico.
PG  - 215-9
AB  - A new nematode species, Spirophilometra pacifica sp. n. (Philometridae), is 
      described from gravid female specimens collected from the mouth cavity (the upper 
      palate) of the fish (yellow snook) Centropomus robalito (Centropomidae, 
      Perciformes) from the Chantuto-Panzacola system, Chiapas, in the Pacific coast of 
      Mexico. Its morphology is very similar to that of the species originally 
      described as Philometra centropomi Caballero, 1974, but the gravid females of S. 
      pacifica are about three times longer (body length 11.63-18.17 mm); host species 
      and the geographical distribution of both these forms also differ. Scanning 
      electron microscope (SEM) examination of S. pacifica, used for the first time for 
      a Spirophilometra species, confirmed the presence of numerous minute cuticular 
      spines on the body surface, 14 cephalic papillae arranged in two circlets, and 
      two small lateral papilla-like caudal projections. It is evident that some 
      features of P. centropomi were incorrectly described (its types are not 
      available) and this species is now transferred to Spirophilometra as S. 
      centropomi (Caballero, 1974) comb. n.
