A redescription of the female and the first description of the male of the philometrid nematode Philometra salgadoi Vidal-Martínez, Aguirre-Macedo et Moravec, 1995 are presented on the basis of specimens collected from the type host, the red grouper, Epinephelus morio (Valenciennes; Pisces: Serranidae), in the Gulf of Mexico off the northern coast of Yucatán, Mexico. The morphology of this species is compared with that of related congeneric species.
