AB -  and The bopyrid isopod Probopyrus pandal- icola (Packard) (sensu lato, see Dale and Anderson, 1982; Markham, 1985) infects a variety of palaemonid shrimp species. Var- ious aspects of its life history and life cycle have been investigated (Morris, 1948; An- derson, 1975, 1977, 1990; Anderson and Dale, 1981, 1989; Beck, 1979, 1980a, b). These studies reveal that the life cycle of this species follows the typical bopyridian pattern of hatching as an epicaridium larva, subsequent attachment to a copepodan in- termediate host, metamorphosis to the mi- croniscus larva, and development of the fi- nal infective stage, the cryptoniscus, which leaves the copepod in search of the final host, typically a decapod crustacean (Rein- hard, 1949; O'Brien and Van Wyk, 1985). Evidence to date indicates that the first cryptoniscus to infect the host becomes the large female parasite while the second (or subsequent) cryptoniscus that arrives on the host develops into the dwarf male that re- mains attached to the female (Reinhard, 1949; Anderson, 1990). High positive correlations between the size of female bopyrids and the size of their caridean shrimp hosts indicate that the host is usually infected early in life and that the parasite remains on and
