We report the ectoparasitic isopod crustaceans Cymothoa exigua y Nerocila acuminata in fish from the Pacific of Honduras. C. exigua was in the gills and tongue of Parapsettus panamensis and Chloroscombrus orqueta which is a new host record, like Stellifer ericymba which had N. acuminata in the pelvic fins. All specimens are from Golfo de Fonseca: 54 C. exigua and one ovigerous male of N. acuminata.
