Both sexes of  Brachiella malayensis  n. sp. are described on the basis of specimens found in the nostrils of narrow-barred Spanish mackerel  Scomberomorus commerson  (Lacepède) collected off Besut, Malaysia. The female of this species closely resembles those of  B. magna  Kabata, 1968 and  B. cybii  Pillai, Prabha et Balaraman, 1982 but is distinguishable mainly by the body size and the proportions of the cephalosome, posterior processes and caudal rami. While examining the male, we noticed a systematic inconsistency in some lernaeopodid genera. The genus  Brachiella  Cuvier, 1830, represented by its type-species  Brachiella thynni  Cuvier, 1830, and two monotypic genera  Charopinopsis  Yamaguti, 1963 and  Eobrachiella  Ho et Do, 1984, represented by  Charopinopsis quaternia  (Wilson, 1935) and  Eobrachiella elegans  (Richiardi, 1880), respectively, share distinct synapomorphies in the embracing (vs. pinching) elongate male maxilliped and the female trunk with a pair of long, cylindrical ventroposterior processes (in addition to a pair of modified caudal rami), both of which are involved in their unique reproductive strategy. The latter two genera are herewith relegated to junior synonyms of  Brachiella .
