DIAGNOSIS Cephalon usually narrowed anteriorly to triangular apex folded 

 ventrally between bases of antennules; posterior margin trilobed; not im- 

 mersed, or only weakly immersed in pereonite 1. Coxal plates small, com- 

 pact, not reaching level of posterior margin of their respective pereonites. 

 Pereopods increasing in length posteriorly, pereopod 7 often markedly longer 

 than 6. Pleon not immersed or only slightly immersed in pereonite 7. 

 Pleopods 3-5 often formed into deep pockets or pleats. Uropods often ex- 

 tending beyond pleotelsonic apex. 



REMARKS Williams and Williams (1981) have provided a comprehensive 

 treatment of this genus and nine of its species in the West Indies. Table 1 in 

 this latter paper provides characters for separating these nine species. This 

 table also indicates that for each species, the site of attachment of the adult to 

 the host fish is specific, with six species attaching under the eye of the host.
