On April 26, 2024, two female Nerocila acuminata were collected from the pectoral and ventral fins of anchovies Engraulis ringens off the coast of Peru. The taxonomic characteristics defining N. acuminata included a cephalon with a convex anterior margin, unproduced posterolateral angles on pereonites I-VII, a non-produced coxal plate on pereonite II, and the uropodal endopod with sinuous margins ending at an acute tip.
