Description
Pennella anthonyi (Quidor, 1912)
Not valid. Described from fin whales, Balaenoptera physalus, Chile. Quidor (1912) used abdominal plume configuration to differentiate this species; this is an unreliable character. A synonym of P. balaenoptera (Hogans 1987); accepted as P. balaenoptera (Walter & Boxshall 2015).
