Lower lip outer lobes longer than inner lobes; outer lobes broad, triangular; terminal margin heavily setose and inner margin setose; inner lobes fully fused, triangular. Left mandible with palp absent; incisor five-toothed; lacinia mobilis five-toothed; spine row of three setae; molar process absent. Right mandible with palp absent; right incisor six-toothed; lacinia mobilis multituberculate with two teeth; spine row absent; molar process absent; submolar setae lacking. Maxilla 1 with seven denticulate robust setae on outer lobe; palp one-articulate, with long setae, not reaching outer lobe setae. Maxilla 2 with distomedial expansion of inner lobe; outer lobe fused. Maxillipeds with inner plate lacking setae, fused basally, maxillipeds outer plate present, anteriorly directed; palp absent ( Figures 6 and 7 (c)). Figure 5. Isocyamus indopacetus Iwasa-Arai and Serejo sp. nov. Holotype, male, 9.2 mm, MNHN-IU-2014-12863. AG: accessory gill; Gn: gnathopod; LG: lateral gill; P: pereopod. Scale bars = 1 mm. Figure 6. Isocyamus indopacetus Iwasa-Arai and Serejo sp. nov. Holotype, male, 9.2 mm, MNHN-IU- 2014-12863. Ant: antenna; LL: lower lip; lMd: left mandible; rMd; right mandible; Mx: maxilla; Mxp: maxilliped; UL: upper lip. Scale bars: antenna 1 = 1 mm; all others = 100 μm. Gnathopod 1 approximately one-fourth size of gnathopod 2, coxa not fused with pereon, anterior margin of propodus with proximal broad expansion. Gnathopod 2 coxa not fused with pereon; basi-ischium with large triangular expansion on anterior margin; carpus and propodus fused; proximal interior margin of propodus with a small blunt projection, propodus with subacute palmar tooth, larger than proximal expansion, dactylus large and unornamented, reaching propodus’ proximal expansion. Pereopods 3 and 4 absent. Pereonites 3 and 4 bearing stout, uniramous and outwardly directed lateral gill; lateral gill cylindrical, 7.5 times longer than wide. Pereonites 3 and 4 bearing triangular, leaf-shaped medial (accessory) gill; accessory gill subequal in length to lateral gill, also arising as coxal epipod; pair of spine-like process arising from each gill, laterally directed. Coxae of pereopods 5 through 7 not fused with pereon. Basi-ischium with anterolateral acute process on ventral face, distally directed. Anterior margin of ischium uniform, unornamented. Inferior margin of merus uniform. Carpus with anterolateral expansion. Propodus subelliptical, with no teeth or spines. Dactylus acute, angle of recurve dactylus extreme, approximately 90° ( Figure 5 ). Figure 7. Isocyamus indopacetus Iwasa-Arai and Serejo sp. nov. Holotype, male, 9.2 mm, MNHN-IU- 2014-12863.

(d) Ventral view. Arrows indicate acute ventral processes of pereonites 5, 6 and 7. Pleon reduced with one pair of pleopods, fused basally and separate distally, with each pleopod ending in a spherical lobe and bearing short setae along its lateral margins. Remarks Until the present study Isocyamus included four species that are ectoparasites of different hosts ( Table 2 ). Isocyamus indopacetus sp. nov. is close to I. deltobranchium in the subtriangular shape of accessory gills, which is an exclusive character of these species. However, I. indopacetus sp. nov. presents two spine-like processes at the base of each lateral gill, whereas I. deltobranchium has only one process per gill ( Figures 5 and 7 (b); Table 3 ). Also, Isocyamus indopacetus sp. nov. exhibits the maxilliped with outer plate, an unique character among other Isocyamus ( Figures 6 and 7 (c)). Nonetheless, while other species of Isocyamus have the dactyl of gnathopod 1 with a combed ridge, it is smooth in I. indopacetus sp. nov. ( Figure 5 ). Table 3. Diagnostic features of Isocyamus .

Longman’ s beaked whale is considered one of the rarest and least well known cetaceans ( Garrigue et al. 2016 ). This is the first record of a whale-louse species parasitising the Longman beaked whale, though Yamada et al. (2012) reported that Indopacetus paci fi cus often carried unidentified whale lice, and highlighted the importance of having more research on external parasites of these beaked whales.
