Bravohollisia geruti, new species, has been collected from Pomadasys hasta (Bloch) off
Pulau Ketam, Peninsular Malaysia. This new species is very similar to B. kritskyi Lim, 1995 in the overall
size of their anchors and structure of the associated net-like secretions but are different in terms of the detailed
shape of anchors, and shape and size of male copulatory organ and connective bars. It also differs from
the other six known Bravohollisia species in the shape and size of the anchors, male copulatory organ and
connective bars. Principal component analysis (PCA) of the morphometric data of the male copulatory organ
and connective bars of the four known and one new Bravohollisia species from off Peninsular Malaysia also
show that this new species is different from the four known Bravohollisia species based on these two features.
