An ovigerous female of Lernaeenicus ramosus Kirtisinghe, 1956 was collected from an areolate grouper, Epinephelus areolatus (Forsskål, 1775), in coastal waters of Suruga Bay (western North Pacific Ocean), Shizuoka Prefecture, central Japan. This represents a new host and the easternmost distribution records for L. ramosus. Based on the literature published between 1956 and 2019, this paper tabulates the known hosts and distribution records of the species in the Indo-West Pacific region. The recent collections of L. ramosus from Japan further support a previous suggestion that the geographical distribution of the species in Japanese waters is affected by two warm currents, the Kuroshio, and its branch, the Tsushima Current.

The pennellid copepod Lernaeenicus ramosus Kirtisinghe, 1956 is a marine fish parasite in the Indo-West Pacific region. Serranid fishes (Perciformes) are the major hosts of L. ramosus, and as its non-serranid host, a single blenniid fish (Blenniiformes) is known from Australia. A metamorphosed ovigerous female of L. ramosus was collected from a grub fish, Parapercis sexfasciata (Temminck & Schlegel, 1843) (Perciformes: Pinguipedidae), in coastal waters of Suruga Bay, an inlet of the western North Pacific Ocean, Shizuoka Prefecture, central Japan. This represents a new and the second non-serranid host records for L. ramosus and it is also the first record from a pinguipedid fish. The female is briefly described. A pennellid copepod previously reported as “Pennella sp.” from the same host species from the Iyo-Nada Sea, part of the Seto Inland Sea, western Japan, is considered to be L. ramosus.
