Preliminary notes on a revision of the Lichomolgidae, cyclopoid copepods mainly associated with marine invertebrates, 2
CYCLOPOID COPEPODS ASSOCIATED WITH OPISTHOBRANCH MOLLUSKS IN NEW CALEDONIA BY ARTHUR G. HUMES Boston University Marine Program, Marine Biological Laboratory, Woods Hole, Massachusetts, 02543, U.S.A. The very high frequency of associations of copepods with intertidal and shallow water invertebrates in Madagascar (Humes, 1970) suggests that these associations may be common elsewhere in tropical waters. Relatively few such associated copepods are known from New Caledonia, however, and these are mostly from mollusks (Monod & Dollfus, 1932; Humes, 1973). The purposes of this note are to record the presence on opisthobranch mollusks in New Caledonia of three cyclopoids previously unknown outside Madagascar and to describe certain details of the external anatomy of these copepods. The field work in New Caledonia during June-August, 1971, and the sub- sequent preparation of this paper were supported by a grant (GB-8381X) from the National Science Foundation of the United States. The generous aid given by the staff of the Centre ORSTOM de Noumea is gratefully acknowledged. For the identification of the molluscan hosts I am indebted to Mr. Robert Burn, National Museum of Victoria, Australia. Each of the three species has been compared directly with freshly dissected Madagascar specimens. All the figures have been drawn
