Neoparmulella periperiensis gen. et sp. nov. is a new siphonostomatoid copepod found associated with an endemic octocoral Phyllogorgia dilatata (Esper) in Bahia State, northeastern region of Brazil. The new genus belongs to the subfamily Parmulodinae which is recorded for the first time in the South Atlantic Ocean. The new genus differs from all other entomolepidids once it shows the fourth leg biramous and 3-segmented. The third endopodal segment of leg 4 also bears reduced setation. Modifications on the family diagnosis are proposed in order to accommodate the new genus and recent species described. The validity of the subfamilies is also discussed.
