  Survey on cymothoids infesting the marine fishes from the Malabar Coast, India recorded two species (Glossobius auritus Bovallius 1885 and Glossobius hemiramphi Williams and Williams 1985), new to India and both appear with new host fish, Cypselurus oligolepis (Bleeker) for G. auritus and Hemiramphus lutkei (Valencinnes) for G. hemiramphi. In the present paper, both species are re-described based on the live and fresh specimens collected from India; Re-description of G. auritus is based on male and female stages, while all the available life cycle stages such as male, transitional, female, juvenile and larvae (manca and premanca) were considered for the re-description of G. hemiramphi. The occurrence, distribution, site specific infestation and fecundity of newly recorded Glossobius spp. are also discussed.
