RESUMO
Polyclithrum mugilini Rogers, 1967, a parasite of Mugil cephalus Linnaeus, is redescribed from type-material from Lake Seminole, Georgia, USA. Three new species of Polyclithrum Rogers, 1967 are also described: P. alberti n. sp. from M. cephalus from the Albert River, Queensland, Australia; P. boegeri n. sp. from M. platanus Günther from Rio da Guarda, State of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil; and P. corallense n. sp. from M. cephalus from Heron Island, Great Barrier Reef, Australia. The four species can be distinguished by the size and shape of haptoral sclerites, but in particular by accessory bar number 3, the dorsal bar, the marginal hooks and the hamulus point to shaft angle. The validity of Micropolyclithrum parvum Skinner, 1975, a parasite of M. cephalus in Biscayne Bay, Florida, is discussed, and a key to the species of Polyclithrum is presented.
