Remarks.
The validity of the genus Anuretes is questionable given the considerable morphological overlap with the members of Lepeophtheirus ( Dojiri and Ho 2013). Currently, Anuretes includes 21 valid species ( Boxshall 2018, Walter and Boxshall 2018); of which A. serratus may be distinguished by stout spines on distal exopodal segment of leg 1, and a branched spine on first exopodal segment of leg 2 ( Shiino 1954, Lewis 1964a), which were clearly observed in our specimens. In addition, A. serratus lacks sternal furca. According to Dojiri and Ho (2013), a sternal furca is rarely absent in species of Anuretes .
