Distribution
Indian Ocean—records from Mozambique, South Africa, Red Sea, India, Indonesia and northern Australia (see Hadfield et al. in press[13]).
Hosts
Hemirhamphidae buccal-cavity—Hemirhamphus far (Forsskål, 1775) and Hemirhamphus robustus Günther, 1866 (see Hadfield et al. in press[13]).
Remarks
Ceratothoa retusa can be identified by the large pereonite 1 with an anterolateral ridge and small cephalon sunken into pereonite 1. Pereonite 1 is deeply concave with anterolateral margins which almost extend to the tip of the cephalon. The pleotelson is broader than long and the uropods extend past the pleotelson margin (Hadfield et al. in press[13]). This species was redescribed in detail by Hadfield et al. (in press)[13] and has been shown to have a variable morphology depending on the sampling location of the specimen.
