Abstract Specimens of Congericola from a New Zealand conger eel, Conger verreauxi, which were previously described as Congericola pallidus Beneden, are placed in a new species, Congericola kabatai, on the basis of the possession of a four-segmented first antenna, a two-segmented exopod in the third pereiopod, the presence of spines on the fourth pereiopod, and other differences in ornamentation of the pereiopods which separate it from the closely related species Congericola pallidus.
