Resumo: The single record of the sharksucker (Echeneis naucrates) attached to a spinner dolphin (Stenella longirostris) is based on a photograph taken at Fernando de Noronha Archipelago, off northeast Brazil. A careful examination of this photograph demonstrates that the diskfish attached to the dolphin is the whalesucker (Remora australis), a species so far recorded on cetaceans only. Thus, the record of S. longirostris as a host for E. naucrates is here invalidated and the value of vouched records is reiterated. The exaggerated reliance even on refereed papers dealing with species records and checklists that lack or have dubious vouchers and their further use is commented upon.
