and Randhawa, 2011; Munoz and Zamora, 2011; Munoz and Castro, 2012), must be carefully evaluated, because,
unfortunately, none of the cited references includes a descriptionand/or figures, and voucher specimens (if
available) must be reexamined.
Our results show that
H. nimia
specimens recorded from the greasy grouper
E. tauvina
from Northwest Arabian
Gulf are very similar with Linton (1910) and in the present study consider the register as a new host and a new
host locality are presented for the species.
