A new location and host record of the acanthocephalan genus Aspersentis is presented from long-spined sea scorpion (Taurulus bubalis). The specimens were sampled from fish associated with seagrass beds off south Arran in the Firth of Clyde, and represent only the second record of Aspersentis spp. in the northern hemisphere. The possibility that these represent a new species of Aspersentis is investigated.
