Abstract

Ceratothoa collaris is reported for the first time outside its known geographical range, which was restricted to north-western African coasts (from Senegal to Tunisia). Many specimens of different developmental stages were collected off the Lebanese coast in the eastern Mediterranean. In addition to an update of the geographical range, synonymy and host specificity, an accurate redescription of the species is given on the basis of new and old materials.
