Abstract
A new species of the genus Holobomolochus is described. It is not only new to science taxonomically, but is the first species to be described from African coastal waters and the southern hemisphere. Holobomolochus maleussp.n. is recorded for the first time from the gills and inner operculum of Malacocephalus laevisoff the west coast of South Africa. It differs from the thirteen known species by virtue of its unique leg-armature, which serves as a distinguishing feature.
