| Abstract | Material collected during 1965-1971 by one of us (C.H.F.) yielded a number of records of parasitic Copepoda. This includes three species of the family Ergasilidae, namely Ergasilus ceylonensis Fernando· and Hanek, 1972, E. mendisi Fernando and Hanek, 1972 and Paraergasilus brevidigitus Yin, 1954 ; one subspecies of the family Dichelestiidae, namely Lamproglena chinensis sprostoni Kirtisinghe, 1964, and one subspecies of the family Lernaeidae, namely Lernaea cyprinacea chackoensis Gnanamuthu, 1951. Some of these were recovered from the fish hosts, whilst on a number of occasions Ergasilus spp. and on one occasion Lemaea sp. was recovered from zooplankton, indicating that these are quite common on fishes. |
