Abstract
Rhamnocercus stichospinus Seamster and Monaco, 1956 (Diplectanidae) parasitic on
the sciaenid fish Menticirrhus americanus from the coastal zone of the State of Rio
de Janeiro, is redescribed and recorded for the first time in the South American Atlantic
Ocean. The generic diagnosis of Rhamnocercus is emended to accommodate the
presence of confluent intestinal ceca in R. stichospinus.
