Extract

In the present paper seven species of cymothoid isopods parasitic on the marine fishes of the Kerala coast are described. A preliminary diagnosis of three of them was published earlier (Pillai, 1954). Full descriptions of all the species are given below. The larval stages described were in all cases taken from the brood pouch. The present work forms part of a thesis for which the author was awarded the Ph.D. Degree by the Kerala University.
