Abstract
Lernaeolophus sultanus (Milne Edwards, 1840) is reported from a new host Sphyraena barracuda (Edwards, 1771) hooked during tuna longline operation in Andaman Sea, after 42 years from its first record from Indian waters. One ovigerous female L. sultanus of total length 24.5 mm was recovered, which was deeply embedded in to the host musculature in front of the anal fin. Cephalosome is bulbous with three profusely branching antlers. This is the first record of L. sultanus from Andaman Sea.
