Cucullanus parapercidis is a species of parasitic nematodes.[1] It is an endoparasite of fish, the Yellowbar sandperch Parapercis xanthozona (Pinguipedidae, Perciformes), which is the type-host, and the Speckled sandperch Parapercis hexophtalma. The species has been described in 2020 by František Moravec & Jean-Lou Justine from material collected off New Caledonia in the South Pacific Ocean.[1]
