Locality. — Montego Bay; one female; parasitic on the parrot-fish. 

 The color is dark slaty-blue, uniform throughout. (Collected by C. B. 

 Wilson.) One female; parasitic on the eye of the yellow-tail (collected 

 by C. B. Wilson). The color is uniform gray- white, the brown mark 

 due to partial drying in the sun. One male; found attached to out- 

 side of cheek at the angle of the jaw of Bathy stoma rimator (collected 

 by C. B. Wilson). The color is light brown above, deeper toward 

 the lateral margins and on the posterior pair of appendages (telson) ; 

 the eyes are white with a small black dot in the center of each facet. 

 The respiratory lamellae have a fine penciling of brown lines, thicker 

 and darker in color near the outer margins. One male; parasitic on 

 Bathy stoma rimator (collected by C. B. Wilson). One female (col- 

 lected by E. A. Andrews). One female; from a small yellow-tail 

 (collected by E. A. Andrews).
