The new species of the parasitic copepod, Salmincola germani, was found in studies of freshwater reservoirs (basins of the Tumnin and Koppi rivers) in the southern Russian Far East. Ten specimens of this parasite were found on fins of Thymallus sp. in the rivers flowing into the Tatarsky Strait. The new species is close to S. californiensis (Dana 1852), but differs from it in the size and structure of the maxilliped palp, the longer manubrium, and greater diameter of the bulla anchor. A description and illustrations of the new species are given.
